New single
“Let’s pretend it’s a decade and then some ago. !!!, Fischerspooner, Hot Chip and The Rapture are pumping their polyrhythmic pulchritude. Daft Punk is playing at Everybody’s House and New York once again is in vogue…”
“‘Hey Hey’ is hard driven blast of a track that leaks filth out of all of its pours. It’s greasy, psychotic-reaction rock n’ roll that belongs in all eras and ears..”
” The aggression, assertion, the grievance is clear, words are chewed like a Bristol Joe Strummer. Choruses hang like The Jam’s ‘In The City’ while verses hotwire them together….”
“Run’ is a single that hides in itself, that comes across pain free and breezy. It washes, soaks, and soothes over smoothly, it doesn’t strain to command our attention…”
