jmag has given Baby, You're A Vampire the thumbs up in its latest issue which hit newsagent shelves today. Here's what they had to say -
Relationship fodder is bloody work for Sydney six-piece.
A long time coming for Sydney's The Devoted Few, Baby You're A Vampire delivers on the promise made by their debut, Billboard Noises. Mixed in Nashville by Jacquire King (who's helmed everyone from Tom Waits to Modest Mouse and, most famously, Kings Of Leon), Baby... sinks its hooks into you around the third or forth listen.
Check out the all-in refrain of 'Frosty Furnaces' (a tale of touring alongside a snobby Fiery Furnaces, as singer/songwriter Ben Fletcher confessed to jmag last year) and the singalong melody of 'We Burn', complete with a nicely placed trumpet, for sure live faves. Despite its morbid title, 'The Death Of Us' is a jaunty, uplifting anthem painted with bodies burning in the night. The angular 'Don't Listen To Us' is one of the LP's best songs (and apparently a song you don't want to hear the morning after), but it's in the album's quieter moments that The Devoted Few really shine. Check the Death Cab-ish slow burn of 'Tom Said', 'You & Me & Everyone Else We Know' and the title track, which all give the band space to breathe. Nicely done. - 3.5/5
