Fight Like Apes automatically get a few points for their simian name because lets face it everyone likes monkeys and their brethren hailing from that mysterious Planet of the Apes. Thankfully ‘Lend Me Your Face’ is as likeable and it offers a cracking burst of energetic indie pop.
The track has been mastered well and there is immediacy from the first second and the vocals of Maykay grab you as an indie-electro squalor goes on in the background. In under two minutes long the track doesn’t hang around but it is all the better for it. With a debut album to come in a few months, 2008 may be the year of the apes.
