EMMA DONOVAN & THE PUTBACKS: Don’t Give Up On Me

EMMA DONOVAN & THE PUTBACKS: Don't Give Up On MeIf you’d given up hope of a new single from Emma Donovan & The Putbacks before the arrival of the new album Crossover next month, it’s your lucky day for here is new single – er – Don’t Give Up On Me which finds the Oz psych-soul crew follow previous single Pink Skirt with a fuzzed-up slice of emoting. Donovan is in fine form, pouring out heartfelt lyrics and a hook that reads like a plea but gets delivered like a command.  It’s an ambivalence reinforced through a voice by turns imploring then growling over the band’s tempestuous organ and guitar-fuelled accompaniment – all powered along by a lurching rhythm.  Blimey!  Don’t mess with the Donovan!  And certainly don’t give up on her. Check back in with the monkey for news on the full LP soon.
(Out now on Hope Street Recordings)
