Tim: Vinsten last graced this site with their presence last June, with a remixed 2012 song, Luckiest Girl. Apparently not ones to rush things, the pair have returned with this, which doesn’t need a remix to be, as you put it “MODERATELY THUMPING”.
Tim: And that is because in its default state it is already THUMPING throughout, gently during the verses, but at least moderately so during the pre-chorus, and once the proper chorus kicks in, everything is there.
Tom: Hmm. You know, I’m not sure about that: again, I’d count it as “moderately thumping”. It takes a while to get there; that opening verse is slow and a bit dull, and not in the Hurts “this is going to turn into something wonderful” sense.
Tim: To be honest, though, it’s just as good when it’s quiet as when it’s loud, because some of those gentle synth lines and vocals are nice to hear.
Tom: I’m not sure about “nice”: it’s okay, I guess, but it feels like a cross between a BANGING CHOON and a shoe-gazing, slow indie track, and I’m just not sure that works. How about you?
Tim: Well, summed up, I guess, the result is that this song is enjoyable to listen to at pretty much every point, and, well, there’s not a huge amount more you could ask for than that.
