After three years of anticipation, Young Kato, the unashamedly indie/pop band from Cheltenham, release their debut, Don’t Wait ‘Til Tomorrow, in a cloud of summery synth tones and clear vocals.

Opener ‘Sunshine’ represents the epitome of easy listening chart music, designed for Kavos clubs or soundtracks to MTV reality shows (indeed, their music has cropped up on Made In Chelsea). Tommy Wright’s silky smooth voice soars over the cohesive mix of uniform basslines and starkly convenient riffs outlined by perky whistles and mechanical drumming. Entering the formulaic zone that pop music possesses, the song descends into a drop that sets the tone of an upbeat album.

‘Drink, Dance, Play’ follows, the same formulaic pattern implying a deficiency in individuality and in depth art but use the infamous “WHOAOAOAH” sounds amongst a mirage of indie pop instrumental to create a heavily catchy anthemic song.

Modern and trendy, accompanied by their distinctive hairstyles and fashion senses similar to those of shopping assistants in Topman, Young Kato have cultivated a sound that marries indie pop and dance pop, with the dance pop being the main breadwinner. To put that into better context, despite the excessively jovial notes emitted from their synth, there is also another dimension that is deeper, philosophical and wistful as displayed in following tracks.

With lyrics milling over past summer events and former flames, there is the vibe of nostalgia and the inner workings of the teenage mind, Young Kato have attracted a large crowd of fans spanning across different subcultures and ages. Young Kato’s suggested amalgamation of genres has resulted in an indistinct yet palatable fusion.

Don’t Wait ‘Til Tomorrow is out now via Republic Of Music.
