My Best Friend’s Going Out With A Girl I Like
(Blang)
Similarly, I’m sorry to say, to a number of bands, I keep hearing CDW’s name dropped in the right circles but has thus far failed to investigate further. I approach, therefore, with caution in case it turns into another Young Knives debacle.
Thankfully, instead of three tuneless try hards, I find some claustrophobic pop music. A simple, but not simplistic, fall-esque guitar line is draped in maudlin rags from a deathly dry drumbeat. The words purr forth; laconic, embittered and thrown like casual arrows.
The tension builds over the length of the track the anorexic guitar line slithering into unexpected trajectories. As the shadows loom ever closer, the whole thing is nearly de-railed by a schoolboy couplet involving the word “cock”. Nearly, but it recovers
I imagine the song stalking slowly up my stairs, lazily swinging an axe with murderous intent, and I can’t say better than that.
