Listening to this album has made me cry from start to finish. Listening to this album is heartbreaking. Every word that Charlie sings means more than it would if he was still here. On Monday (4th) I went to Chazzstock, and the album was sung by different bands. A moving, beautiful yet sad affair. It shouldn’t have happened, he should still be here. Attempting to review this album is one of the most difficultest (is that even a word?) things I have ever written.

Every song is brilliant, I am not just saying that because of what happened. I’m saying it because it is true. As far as debuts go, OELSP have out down themselves here. There is honestly no album filler at all on this album. The lyrics are quite dark, but the music isn’t. OELSP are a band that you just instantly love. It is a remarkable debut album, that us fans from the begining will find difficult to listen to. Every so often it will hit you what happened, and you cannot help but cry.

Opener,  You Started is gorgeous. Charlie’s voice on this track, Better and Outside is just beautiful. Part of me wants to do some in depth review, but I just cannot do it. I cannot tell you how amazing this album. I can only tell you to go out and buy it on Monday 11th October. Buy it for the sake of good music. Buy it because Ou Est Le Swimming Pool are a brilliant band.

I cannot write anymore, my words will not do this album any justice.
