Album Info
With evident aspirations to be Germany's most convincing naïfs, this lo-fi trio plies its adorable pop trade largely in stylistic emulation of the Television Personalities. Tunefully singing sweet-and-sour love lyrics in quietly accented (and slightly flat) English against brash guitar strums and a puppy-like rhythm section, the ultra-sensitive Bartlebees carefully press the tender leaves of supposed adolescence between the pages of a tear-stained diary. Unlike the flashy culture references and anguished passions of the TVPs (whose leader, Dan Treacy, plays organ on two of the 1st album's tracks), the Bartlebees are a blandly genial lot, posting their concise and alluring missives to unnamed romantic correspondents. The group's skills have improved over the course of four longplayers, but never far exceed the minimum standards required to convey a shapely melody. Guitarist Patrick's singing and the playing (especially the slapdash drumming) on Diary of a Youngblood are on the cavalier side of simple; still, originals like "No Stories," "Someday I'll Send You A Rainbow," "Love The Moment" and "I Laugh Again" demonstrate the band's genuine facility for upholding tradition without coming off like mere copycats.
