It's not, as the band name suggests, an answer to Robyn Hitchcock's musical question "Do Policemen Sing?" The Scotland Yard Gospel Choir is a Chicago-based chamber pop collective led by Welsh émigré Elia Einhorn. Armed with a distinctive voice at the intersection between hardcore country and glammy cabaret à la David Bowie's HUNKY DORY, Einhorn's wry lyrics and heart-twanging tunes are matched to strings, horns, grand piano, and backup vocalists including Kelly Hogan and the Mekons' Sally Timms. Highlights include the florid "Aspidistra" and the dramatic "This World Has No Place For Me."
Editorial reviews
4 stars out of 5 -- Most tracks are wistful chamber pop -- some cello here, a trumpet there, even what sounds like a xylophone rocking the Beatlesesque end of 'Obsessions'... Alternative Press
3 stars out of 5 -- [With] crisp and cutesy pop songs....The result is quite uplifting... Q
[A] sometimes stunning, always solid debut disc....[T]he songs never come across as busy, even when the springtime-in-Paris horns are competing with daydream-nation blasts of feedback and panoramic pedal steel. No Depression
