When I was 17, I swear that all members of the opposite sex looked like their mums had dressed them. They had the sartorial maturity equivalent to that of a cretinous resident of Royston Vasey. These days, young lads all seem to have managed to develop dress sense, charm and some even display a kind of musical ambition.
You In Motion, a very new 4 piece from Lincoln, are examples of this change in culture from what muggins has seen and heard.
The four 17-year-olds have been together for just two months and have already recorded two formative tracks.
‘Hollow Tin Machine’ is an onomatopoeic work introduced by a free flowing tide of guitars and Matty Shelbourne’s drums, almost futuristic in tone. Lyrically, this tune is vacant and sorrowful in its emotions with a subversive, dark layer of very probable misplacement. It’s easy to forget the tender age of these four lads when you analyse this sound. Mere teenage angst couldn’t be accountable here as some kind of musical and emotional literacy is evident. The heavy, disruptive flicks of Cal Fortune’s bass sabotage any chances of this being a fluffed-up lasses tune. The maelstrom of Jim Hennessy’s wailing guitar solos become steadily more striking as the closing third progresses towards a very tight and sudden finish. The vocals could do with being recorded a little louder on this track – they are in danger of getting lost but this is down to the production values rather than the strength of vocal delivery.
Second track, ‘So Much For Subtlety’, benefits from sounding like a live performance. The chilled opening section denotes that this track is more vocally driven than ‘Hollow Tin Machine’. This is seemingly a track about the fear of inadequacy but with the added youthful resolve of going ahead with it anyway, whatever ‘it’ might be. Bringing this song to a close, frontman Rob Telezynski declares “And as this night gets wild I wonder where my hands will go”. It’s something of a cliff-hanger ending as we all might wonder where his mitts are venturing!
For a collective so young and with so little time together so far amassed, You In Motion show a lot of promise. Regular gigging will surely develop their persona further and it’s likely that their deftness with prose will flourish from there. Overall, they don’t have a lot to worry about.
Although I might have something to be troubled by… the opening paragraph of this review has made me worry. It’s very possible that I’m becoming a right old perve!
