Sunderbans - We Only Can Because We Care
This debut release on the consistently dependable Young & Lost Club label commences like a low budget film score attempting to create tension and impending danger. From this, it moves to the type of drum and guitar upsurge more commonly used as a song’s finale.
This curious and lengthy introduction leads to a minimalist sound which conjures up images of isolation on deserted plains. Unsurprisingly, it has suitably corresponding lyrics to match, seemingly inspired by the band’s adoration of India (their name comes from a mangrove swamp at the feet of the Ganges, don’t you know).
Once again, traditional structure is knowingly ignored, with the song’s repeated title forming a chorus of sorts, on which all three members of the Sheffield outfit contribute hesitantly for the final part of the track’s inspired duration.
‘We Only Can Because We Care’ is a ‘grower’ by all accounts, but one which slowly sheds its subtlety constructed layers to expose a track of great promise with an often incisive, yet elementary sound.
