Pollock is a huge fan of Dusty Springfield and Sixties pop. You can hear her love of the production of the time: strings, elaborate arrangements and the importance of melody all shine in Watch the Fireworks. She oozes enthusiasm for “If Silence Means That Much to You”, a tune that encapsulates all that she loves in a song. “It just sounded to me like it could be from a Sixties film soundtrack and the melody just sounded like it could comfortably appear on the Dr Zhivago soundtrack.” She talks excitedly about how they dug a Sixties hammer dulcimer out from their cupboards for the chorus. While the songs retain similarities to The Delgados (their eclecticism and the changing tempos) it is this eccentricity that keeps the music fresh. – The Independent
