Man, rather nice track. The comparison with bob mould fits. I am a big Huesker Due fan - therefore: nicely done. Is this a whole band? Must be..

I really like the guitar work. and the brevity of it. This is the thing with most pop, someone decides the only thing to do is repeat it until it's irritating as hell and ultimately I'm put off entirely.

Sounds great and has a joyous up beat feel...
The jangly guitars! Cool!
Works well for Autumn too!

Absolutely...as I always say, I think it's a lot harder (but sometimes more rewarding) to write a two minute pop song than a 3 minute one - more discipline and stripping down of the structure required. I don't hear much 'modern' pop to be honest, except on TV, and sometimes on the radio whilst in cars, and I don't think you're far wrong. Seems to be no-one (that I'm aware of anyway) in the chart/radio mainstream doing inventive stuff within the form that the likes of say 10cc, Squeeze, Madness used to do. Just being an old git I suppose!jancivil wrote:I really like the guitar work. and the brevity of it.

I can see that actually, now you mention it, the bit at the end with the octave bass with just the electric and drums in particular. Cheers!experimental.crow wrote:it had a little elvis costello and the attractions feel to it ...

Cheers. I always get a bit of jangle in there - the struggle now is not to use the 12 string on everything.Allomerus wrote:Sounds great and has a joyous up beat feel...
