Vuitton Blues / Krypton Factor
(Double Six/Domino)
This single is a strange but oddly compelling thing. At first it rather irritated me and left me confused but really grew on me after a few spins. ‘Vuitton Blues’ is a cool, up tempo song, driven along on a solid inventive rhythm and topped off by the competing dual vocals of Bob and Martin. It’s very catchy with a cool sense of interaction between the two contrasting but complimentary vocal styles and a rhythmic and melodic punch that leads to a monster of a chorus. At times the lyrics are quite surreal, mixing serious points with a sense of flippancy in mad couplets like ‘If you had the guts you’d quit this low paid gulag / Take your girl and buy a blue Louis Vuitton bag’. ‘Krypton Factor’ as an even madder proposition with lines like ‘In another life I’d pick you up on my tractor … You and me were on the Krypton Factor’. It’s less up and in your face than ‘Vuitton Blues’, gentler but equally touched by an inventive, energetic and restlessly creative madness.
