Band Review: Sheabou


Sheabou (pronounced Shay-boo) is a four person band out of London.

Their biography mentions using a songwriting progress that focuses on democracy, starting with vocals and adding instruments on at a time, rather than the more traditional format of having the singer as the primary songwriter.

This probably influences the very mellow feel to their sound. I would describe it as a sincere, coffee-house vibe. At the same time, the process may water down the songs, as it is hard to point to something that stands out. They are pleasant background, but not generally attention grabbing, one exception being the intro on "Just Go".

They appear to be a relatively young band, so there is room for growth.
