Being 747 - The Girl Who Fell Asleep Whilst Watching Her Life Flash Before Her Eyes
Dec 04

'damn that's a title and half, and i am seriously fed up with having to type it out. good job the song is as good as it it. inspiral carpets hammond organs, wedding present riffs, julian cope surrealness all joined together in perfect harmony. the ep's lead track has been lifted from the bands excellent debut to hopefully raise the profile of the band knack for catchy indie pop that should brighten up any dark winters day. wonderful stuff.

and the rest of the ep ? 'communist prince' is another full band track, where mainman paul cooke is once again backed by the morricone brothers, paul and steve, as if they haven't enough to do with the scaramanga six and running wrath records! 'desperate dan' is a more acoustic effort with a lyrical plea regarding lost souls and drinking sorrows with the song reveakling all the loss of the chances of the ritualistic saturday night hunt that many men partake in. such openness to such a lovely melody. things are ramped up for the finale 'dont tip toe' brings on the mad synths, scary organs.

hopefully the ep will get into the hands of the many, and expose the bands twisted pop nous to the rights folks, cos basically, i like this bands way with stories and melodies in their classic indiepop settings. and that's a good thing surely?
