OH dear, that name. Uh Huh Her may be meant as a tribute to a PJ Harvey album.
But�it ranks with Wa Wa Nee, Koo De Tah and Goo Goo Dolls as a band you can't discuss without cringing.
That's a shame, because the Los Angeles duo, female singer-keyboardists who are supported on this album with guitars and drums, present superb synth-pop that deserves a big audience.
It's a mark of their talent that their debut album is produced by Al Clay, whose credits include Blur, Pink, Stereophonics and the Boo Radleys.
On Not a Love Song and Wait Another Day Uh Huh Her serve up exquisite vocals and dance beats that merge the rich harmonies of the Corrs and the Delays with the deep, burning moods of Lush and Silversun Pickups.
Explode breathes a sleepy sexiness and Everyone soars with the help of a plunking harp - synthesised, doubtlessly.
Away From Here oozes the languid romance of the Cardigans, while Dance With Me packs the punch of the Veronicas. An album that bursts with vitality and talent.
