Forged on the glorious sun-kissed lawns of the University of Sydney campus, The Jezabels have been busting out their debut EP to increasingly cramped Sydney crowds – The Hopetoun was packed to the rafters for the launch – and the hype is justified. The Man Is Dead is a fine little collection of well-crafted and well-caffeinated indie piano pop numbers about chemically assisted romance and culture shock. It’s the vocals that grab you first. Vocalist Hayley Mary has a dazzling, expressive voice that leaps from octave to octave – very reminiscent of Tori Amos in the higher registers, especially paired with Heather Shannon’s gorgeous piano lines. The opening verses of ‘Disco Biscuit Love’ are maybe a bit too low for comfort, but most of the time, Mary’s voice would be heavenly if it didn’t sound so defiant. The band is currently making do sans bass: just piano, occasional guitar, drums and vocals. As if sensing he’s the only bona fide member of the rhythm section, Nik Kaloper attacks the drums with death metal gusto. The tracks swell with Kaloper’s energy, but one hopes that Shannon’s keys and Sam Lockwood's spare guitars will be brought closer to the fore in the future. On ‘Disco Biscuit Love’ and ‘Electric Lover’, particularly, it seems that Shannon is unfairly relegated to beating relentless quavers on the low end of the keyboard – that kind of schtick could get old very soon. She needs to show off that Conservatorium of Music training. A very promising and focused debut – bigger, more spacious venues await for The Jezabels, surely.
