The single opens with a catchy fuzzy riff that ensnares
you – only to disappoint when the verse starts.
A mangle of drums and a reasonably high-pitched
vocal, something's not working. When the bass and
guitars return the song begins to sound more promising
and suddenly explodes into a pacey chorus that makes
up for the start of the verse. And when it happens
again in the second verse you're happy to let it
slide so you can get back to the chorus again.
The first b-side “Linas Store,” starts
in a hectic riff, quickly dies down to a simple
plodding verse and once again finds itself exploding
into a fantastic chorus. The second half of the
song finds itself lost in an upbeat jerking indie
tangle, and I love it. The second b-side “Last
Chance Dance” - has a riff which probably
shouldn't be classed as indie but with that drum-beat,
there's not really any other genre you can stick
it in.
London Blackmarket are like a British version
of the Hives – but it's all a bit heavier,
the vocalist tends to stay a little more in tune
– and every song is a winner.
5/5
