This is a strange one for me…..
Initially, I just couldn’t get it. The singing sounds almost choked, as if the vocalist has ‘bools in his mouth.’ (That’s marbles to those reading this outwith Scotland.) The “Oh oh oh,” backing vocals sound quite random and detached and the whine of the guitar hook, irritating.
But you know, the more I persisted, the more it made sense. The song races along nicely and the buzz of the underlying guitar riff has a certain attraction. The singing actually became more ‘unique’ than annoying and the ‘whine’ of the guitar took on more of melodic interpretation.
I really don’t know what else to say, for once. It’s definitely worth checking out, but be prepared to listen a good few times before making any judgement.
It just goes to show that the old adage about ‘first impressions,’ isn’t always true.
