Delightfully springing from the folded boxes of The Cardboard Kids, a mere six months ago, Charlie Mayfair are the re-incarnation of Brisbane five-piece Dave Di Marco, Hannah Shepherd, Sam George-Allen, Will Weightman and Billy Bodean. The equally talented musicians share an innate love for music; A pure appreciation which permeates through their impressive debut EP, ‘Watch My Hands’.
Title track, Watch My Hands, is a perfect introduction to the folk infused pop sounds of Charlie Mayfair. However, the band truly hit their stride during debut single, Run. Sweet harmonies cozily compliment simple lyrics, creating music which feels effortless and heartfelt. The chemistry between lead singers Hannah and Dave is captivating throughout an album which finishes poignantly on the back-and-forth love song Please Stay.
While Charlie Mayfair’s pop/folk formula isn’t exactly unique, ‘Watch My Hands’ is difficult not to enjoy.
