Some things are worth the wait. And it’s an extraordinary understatement to say the debut album for youthful pop duo Dash & Will has been a long time coming.
A bigger understatement however, would be to downplay Up In Something as anything less than what it is – one of the best Australian pop albums of 2009.
Yes, this world class record bares the fingerprints of a couple of production heavy-hitters. But as skilful songwriters and performers with a voice of their own, Dash & Will- a.k.a Charlie Thorpe and Josie DeSousa-Reay- simply cannot be ignored.
You may think you know the fundamentals around the Dash & Will story.
Two girls meet at a Melbourne primary school, graft out a friendship that steadily develops into a meaningful connect, begin writing songs together as teenagers, rebadge themselves with the names they would have been called if they were born boys and record a demo that’s uncovered by producer and musician Barry Palmer.
But there’s always been something else at play. The two 19-year-olds possess an edge that underlies the spunk in these ten slices of pop-perfection.
This diverse collection of songs draws on a wide variety of influences. Album highlight, and hit-in-the-waiting Painful has a DNA traceable back to forgotten Australian pop duet Leonardo’s Bride and also recalls Howling Bells chanteuse Juanita Stein and even echoes of Chrissie Hynde.
Elsewhere, there are vestiges of veterans Natalie Merchant in the brilliant mid-tempo cut Save Me and Veruca Salt on Didn’t Know blending with their contemporaries, think Michelle Branch on the scorching opening track Some Like It Hot. It’s a brand of pop music that’s never too straight, and clearly has something else in play.
