PLUMBING THE SHALLOWS OF NEW MUSIC

As you can see from the above photogram, Sunny Day Sets Fire have a rather appealing attitude to colour and colourfulness - which is to say, they wear nice bright tops. As you will also see, some of them are still rather alarmed and/or entranced by colour, going all 'Ooooh, coloured blob!' 'What is, coloured blob?' etc. But the others are a bit like 'Whatever, coloured blob, we have seen it all before'. The one in the middle is just a bit confused.

ANYWAY.

Here is why it is so good:

• It do start with some very ping-pongy basslines what sound like a bouncy ball would do if it was also a noise.

• It makes you do that dance in your chair where you lead with your shoulders - a little bit of swaying, a little bit of 'I recognise that this is good' appreciative nodding, and ALL ATTITUDE.

• When singer Onyee comes in with the chorus and sings 'A-DREN-A-LIIIIIIIIIIINE' - it all breaks down and goes a bit whooshy.

• While we are on the subject, Onyee can balance a bottle of water on her head WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY doing an Iron Woman impression. Look:

When we were very little we used to play a game what involved doing bodybuilding poses when we were not quite dressed and still in our pants. Then we would play WO-MAAAAN OF STEEEEEL which involved trying to get past the titular Woman of Steel on the landing. If you got past WO-MAAAAN OF STEEEEL you got to be her and block the other person. We think we played this because our Dad was a big fan of World's Strongest Man (which we thought was super-LOLs, especially all the UNNNNNNNGGGH noises) - anyway, it is a very good game.

• The sing-a-longa factor. Not to be misunderestimacised - but as the vocals have been chopped up to buggery, when they do come in it is difficult not to join in. As in 'I always. I. I. I always. PL-AY-AY-AY'

• It is Spank Rock producer XXXchange what done it. And as we all know, anything that has anything to do with Spank Rock is heaps and heaps of fun.
