\"\"It may have taken me a few listens to get into the ’T-Shirt Weather\/Losing Sleep Split EP’<\/em>\u00a0but it\u2019s well worth persevering with, as eventually it reveals itself to be one of the most charming Indie releases I\u2019ve heard in a while.<\/p>\n

Running at just under 3 -minutes, the split as a whole is the perfect springtime record; light hearted and danceable with the kind of poppy guitars that instantly lift your mood. In all fairness, ’T-Shirt Weather\/Losing Sleep Split EP’<\/em>\u00a0is exactly what you need to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the introspective dullness of January.<\/p>\n

Split w\/ Losing Sleep by T-Shirt Weather<\/a><\/p>\n

The best thing about T-Shirt Weather<\/strong>\u2019s offerings for this EP is without a doubt the titles. If you don\u2019t illicit a wry smile at ’Hold Me Closer, Whiny Dancer’\u00a0<\/em>or ’If on a Winter’s Night A Graveler’<\/em>\u00a0(A Calvino reference that took me back to the hideousness of reading it at University) then you have no sense of humour.\u00a0 While it\u2019s never a good thing to have better song titles than the songs themselves, it\u2019s fortunate these are pretty fun too. I\u2019ve admitted before that I\u2019m partial to regional accented singing voices, and T-Shirt Weather<\/strong> is no exception, \u00a0with the bouncy chorus repetition of \u201csad, sad, sad\u201d enhanced by their accents.\u00a0 The refrain at the end of ’If On A Winter’s Night A Graveler’\u00a0<\/em>is equally fun, and it\u2019s tough not to sing along to the repeating \u201cI swear we\u2019ll be ok\u201d\u00a0<\/em>line.<\/p>\n

Split with T-Shirt Weather by Losing Sleep<\/a><\/p>\n

Losing Sleep<\/strong>\u2019s half offers up Indie with a slightly more Emo edge, while still managing to keep things fairly uptempo. ’“It\u2019s \u2018Card Sharp” not “Card Shark”’<\/em> offers wonderfully woeful lines such as \u201cI never claimed to be the king of anything, never even dreamed of it\u201d,<\/em> while still remaining positive in delivery. The best track from them is ’July Inside’,\u00a0<\/em>an anthem about getting better and hospital beds that gives the split some emotional clout.\u00a0 It reminds me slightly of Jawbreaker\u2019s ‘Accident Prone’<\/em> which is never, ever a bad thing.<\/p>\n

Overall, this is by no means a deep record, but it\u2019s fluffy and pleasant to listen to, and sometimes, that\u2019s all you need.<\/p>\n
