As if Vintage Trouble weren't enough, here's another US band who have built a reputation on their live show making the transition to the studio. This time it's an expert pastiche of classic soul, rather than the tougher R&B of Vintage Trouble, but fans of one are likely to enjoy the other. The Tantrums – a guitarless band, who rely on organ, piano and sax to carry the melodies – know their way round a tune: Breakin' the Chains of Love, the title track and L.O.V. have hooks that sound instantly as if you've heard them a thousand times before, and the latter has a clever faux-baroque organ line that gives it a slinky, insinuating feel. But there's an odd misanthropy in places, too – in the self-explanatory Moneygrabber, and in Rich Girls, which tells us "the poor girls take your money". What you don't hear, though, is the sense of passionate involvement that was evident on Amy Winehouse's Back to Black – the very thing that lifts retro soul beyond pastiche. It's fun, but never more than fun.
