Now That You Are A Dancer is the third album by Scottish indie-pop band Kid Canaveral. The album, released in 2018, is a collection of 11 tracks that showcase the band's signature sound of catchy melodies, jangly guitars, and introspective lyrics.
The album opens with "First We Take Dumbarton," a track that sets the tone for the rest of the album with its upbeat tempo and sing-along chorus. The album's title track, "Now That You Are A Dancer," is a standout with its infectious guitar riff and lyrics about the joys of dancing.
Throughout the album, the band explores themes of love, loss, and growing up. "Pale White Flower" is a poignant ballad about the passing of time and the inevitability of change, while "I'll Be Honest" is a reflective track about the regrets and mistakes of youth.
Kid Canaveral's indie-pop sensibilities are on full display throughout the album, with nods to bands like The Smiths, Belle and Sebastian, and The Wedding Present. The album's production is clean and polished, with each instrument and vocal track shining through.
