God Is In The TV Review of Reading Festival 2009 Set

Here is a review of our set at Reading Festival 2009.  Its been written by a guy called James McDonald who writes for God Is In The Tvzine which you can find at www.godisinthetvzine.co.uk

One band who hopefully won’t be subject to such grotesque manifestation are Leeds’ octet Milk White White Teeth, one of the few decent acts on BBC’s introducing stage this weekend. They’re a collection of sickeningly talented musicians in fields as varied as cornet and mandolin, melodica and synth, and they harness heavenly harmonies and tracks which offer uncharted adventures, rarely subsiding before the 7 minute mark. Pesky kids. Comparisons to the Arcade Fire would be lazy, however if they’d recorded Neon Bible in, say, Bermuda, you’d get an impression as to what to expect here. I’m instantly smitten with Jon’s guitar and choral voice, which is interestingly an octave or so higher than female vocalist Michelle, and the dynamics and variation on stage are a literal cause for celebration. They beam with delight before, during, and after each delivery - visibly pleased to be playing; not necessarily because they’re playing here, more that they’re playing now. There’s an unmittigating sense of rejoice in their music, definitely worth a listen. I just hope they’re not religious types.
