Young people are a mistake. We hate them and their fresh faces and lithe bodies and potential. We loathe their enthusiasm for things we've long been jaded about. And we especially hate them when they're better at stuff than we are.

Pull In Emergency are all about 10 years old, disgustingly good looking and annoyingly brilliant at being a jangly, noisy, melodic, girl-fronted indiepop band of the kind we are powerless to resist.

If you listen to 6 Music (save 6 Music!) you'll have heard their current single '15' played about every ten minutes. Their self-titled debut album is essentially ten versions of that, which is exactly what a debut album by a jangly, noisy, melodic, girl-fronted indiepop band should be. It's very good.

Most of the songs were written by guitarist Alice Costelloe who couldn't, by any stretch of the imagination, be called ugly. (Expect pull-out posters to start appearing in the NME shortly.) Singer Faith Barker sounds like she could handle herself in an argument, while lead guitarist Frankie Bowmaker could be a Nick Valenski for the generation who now consider The Strokes "an old band".

Realistically, Pull In Emergency still have a long way to go and their musical identity isn't yet fully formed. And there's only so many times you can listen to a set of songs which all seem to be about trying to get a boy to stay the night and then wondering why he's acting a bit weird afterwards, before shouting: "For god's sake, you wretched teenagers. Stop having sex, you're making me depressed!"

But this is a better debut album than any we've heard this year, by a band we're actually allowing ourselves to get excited about. We'll be standing at the back of their gigs with the mums and dads, though.

Pull In Emergency by Pull In Emergency is released by Mute on September 6.
