Editorial Reviews

UK pressing of the 2008 debut album by Sydney quartet Van She, a boldly adventurous, thrillingly modern trip into the barren landscapes with thoroughly danceable tunes. It's the sound of a band taking what they've done before and pushing it off the edge, of a band that's leaping at the stars and been caught mid-leap, an act that's made a record with everything and nothing to do with any notions of trends or currency. Above all V is on the surface, simply fun, catchy pop songs, while below, the album is full of secrets, signs and symbols . Sticking two fingers up at the detractors and aiming to set the imaginations of fans alight, Van She have crafted the record no one expected them to make but everyone's been waiting for. 12 tracks including 'Memory Man', 'It Could Be The Same' and 'Strangers'. Modular.

I fell in love with this LP after hearing a remix of another artist by "Van She Tech." - I found that - loved that, and tracked back to Van She- the Aussie group that has released what I consider to be one of the best CD's of 2008!

Yeah. I said it. One of the BEST. It's totally addictive, catchy without being cliched. Deliberate. The arrangements are a pure pleasure.

I am dying to see these guys live- and hopefully they will play in Brooklyn one day soon.

Buy this LP. It's expensive until they get US distribution, but maybe search it out in iTunes or on their myspace: /vanshe

LOVE IT !!!!!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best album of 2008, August 27, 2009

Hands down the best album of 2008. A perfectly produced album all the way through. I have no idea why this album hasn't gotten US release when Cut Copy did (they're both on Modular...) and this is 1000 times better than Cut Copy. Take the 80's feel of Cut Copy, make it more focused, and add hooks. I don't care if it costs $30 for you to get this album; just do it. You'll thank yourself later.
