‘Wendy’ is a fat slice of jingle jangle pop. Clearly influenced by their peers and predecessors this track would sound right at home sandwiched between Camera Obscura and Teenage Fanclub. This could have something to do with the fact that it was produced by TFC’s drummer, Francis MacDonald. It kicks off sounding a lot like ‘Tonight, Tonight’ by The Smashing Pumpkins before being submerged in Beach Boy harmonies and lush orchestartion. It almost pulls it off but just sounds a bit too polished and over produced for my liking.
