Tim: As I’m writing this, I’m lying by a swimming pool with the sun blazing down on me and my skin’s in danger of turning bright red. This is an excellent accompaniment.
Tom: It’s cloudy here and I’m sneezing thanks to hay fever. I get the feeling I won’t be so optimistic.
Tom: Oh, I take it back. That’s lovely.
Tim: Isn’t it? What a summer track it is. I’ll be honest, I wasn’t entirely appreciating them until now, when it’s actually summery.
Tom: Even without the sun, this is really good: even that clicky, stuttery break works for me, and that’s odd: normally, I’d find it gimmicky. The combination of ballad-type vocals and staccato synth and percussion complement each other far better than I’d have thought.
Tim: There’s also that middle eight that sticks out in either a ‘wait what’s going on’ way or an ‘ooh, this is great’ way, and for me it’s the latter. Yes, it kind of breaks the track, but I think it’s in a good way. Basically, I think this is a great tune, and his decent vocals on top only help that.
