"What a little belter this is. Pure, head-on pop music, fabby guitar riffs, plumptious organ, verses, choruses, middle 8 - all present and correct. The AA side 'Orders' reminds me of early sparks, never a bad look. Intelligent stuff, quoting the right sources but never simply copying. This could be a very good year for Silvery. They should be filling the Radio 1 playlist in place of the ghastly Feeling. Buy this record."

the organ (single of the week)
Much anticipated new single from the London band and more of their very English fairground infectiousness – think Sparks, think spinning on the waltzers at the fair in the lights of night, think XTC, candy floss and toffee apples, brightly painted hobby horses, think Ziggy Stardust, Parklife/Poplife style Blur goodness. They’ve been one of London’s best kept secrets for a little while now, packed out gigs in Camden and such, building a genuine following and a really worth of mouth flow. Silvery make timeless English pop music, a slighty quirky edge, nothing that ever stops that pop flow though. They have a slightly eccentric charm, a bright palette, those not quite pristine bandsman uniforms and those chiming keyboards. The debut album is not far away now, this should more than wet your appetite."

Not enough bands release singles that are under two minutes in length do they? Is it just me or is there something really pleasing and ballsy about doing that, particularly when it’s your debut 45 you are putting out.
Well that’s exactly what Silvery have done for this release. with Horrors weighing in at a beautiful one 1:47. Even the other half of the double-a doesn’t hang about with Orders being epic almost at 2:20.
As you would expect from a Blow Up indie band the sound is certainly celebrating English music, you get some grooving 60’s organ and a heavy dose of Libertines stle punk. Definitely a band to watch out for, especially when they drop their album in a few months time.
