Look See Proof - 'Do You Think It's Right'

The promising likely lads from Look See Proof are warming up to the release of their debut album in June with this single taken from it. As a sign of things to come, it could be worse for the Hertfordshire four-piece.  Riding the crest of the fashionable uptempo indie wave, Look See Proof blend the fast pace of dance floor fillers from Bloc Party with the colloquial guitar-pop vocal stabs of the Pigeon Detectives.  Though this might sound like a nightmarish combination, the result is an inoffensive, polished kind of chaos.  ‘Do You Think It’s Right’ opens with an angular guitar riff that spills into unpredictable, skittering high hat and cheerful bassline, overlaid with well-placed, melodic guitar work and infectiously repetitive lyrics that that will stick in the heads of indie-kids like their favourite hair product.  There’s a good few chorus yells and an unwinding drum build-up mid-track for good measure, too. 

Though Look See Proof are perhaps best boxed with the commercially popular likes of The Wombats than the melodic inventiveness of The Maccabees or Mystery Jets, this comfortable middle-ground gives them both indie credibility and a more universal appeal that shows promise for the forthcoming album.

Released 24/03/08 on Weekender.
