First, there were the Horrors, disciples of vintage vinyl who came of age in 2011 with their third album. Last year there was Toy, friends of the Horrors, whose long-haired guitars paid engaging tribute to their influences. Now along come Charlie Boyer and his Voyeurs, dedicated followers of the Velvet Underground and mid-70s New York. Their close cleaving to that sound might be derivative but rarely dull, due in some part to Edwyn Collins's shiny production. Starting with their first single I Watch You, there's enough vim on this debut to excuse a mid-album lull, where their attempts at mantric insistence grow a little leaden. Be Glamorous, meanwhile, is a perfect Hammond organ pop moment.
