THE DAWN CHORUS – The Hope Will Kill Us – 9/10
One of our best demo bands of ’07, their debut is like The Shins losing their minds in the desert, discovering country and condensing the frazzled trip in three glorious minutes.

Perhaps the initial enthusiasm tempers cold logic, maybe we just become more cynical, or maybe it's because we've heard so many bands, it takes something awesome to truly impress us. Whatever the case, The Dawn Chorus have an impressive and rare spark in their music that turns even the most hardened critic back into that fresh, excited and eager state of our youth! Newly signed to indie-label Jelly Maid Music, their debut single is remarkable. 'The Hope Will Kill Us All' is a swath of alt-folk-indie, like The Coral meeting Gomez in the splendour of Hampshire, jamming out a sound untainted by heavy influences and selling the result to James. Things are more saccharine in 'We Can Have It All', a gentler track with depthy acoustic guitars, piano and flickers of electric guitar. The vocals form a powerful composition with strong harmonies that add flavour to an already-exciting dish. 'Heart of Hearts' shows the folksiest edges of The Dawn chorus, mainly due to the subtle addition of mandolin and cello to the song. The Dawn Chorus are destined for great success - it doesn't take a genius to predict that they are one to watch in 2008 (what next, an NHS advertising campaign teaching senior citizens how to eggs should be sucked?) All they need to do is make their forthcoming album, The Big Adventure, as good as this single. The Mag
