Peru - leaving the 'acre EP

Being a train spotter and being an indie anorak goes together like bacon and eggs (or a vegetarian alternative if you are so inclined), i used to be one of the former and am still one of the latter thus i can tell you that there is a class 47 on the cover of this EP by indie stalwarts Peru and that is just the start of the old skool thrills you will get with this record. Recorded a few years ago it seems the songs on here have a stylishly old fashioned indie feel. Straight forward guitar indie pop no weird cross-fertilisations.

Best song is "Needing, wanting, waiting" with its up-key chorus though also liked the ancient feel of "Kim's balloon" which feels so old skool it sits at the same desk as Plato. Terrific all the way, no Duff tracks whatsoever (diesel locomotive enthusiasts may get that joke).
