As Alan McGee notes today in his defence of Pink Floyd and prog, rash judgments are often foolish and received opinions frequently best dispatched. Not that there are many received opinions about Chapel Club because they're too new and not yet widely known, but we did make a foolishly rash judgment about them based on their November 2009 debut single Surfacing – a cover, give or take the odd lyrical addition and extraneous grungy guitar riff, of 1930s popular-music standard Dream a Little Dream of Me – which we heard once before Christmas and instantly dismissed as a pointless exercise. The foolishness of our judgment didn't become wholly apparent, however, until we played the band's next single, O Maybe I, not due out for another five weeks but already available to listen to on their MySpace.
