Tim: End of the week, how about something to make you get up and about this weekend?
Tom: Methylphenidate? No? Okay.
Tim: Got this for you, from a duo consisting of David (on vocals) and Raife (on electronic bits).
Tim: In their words, this is “a wake up call; a realisation, a message to say ‘you’re better than this, get out there and do it'”, and I’ll take that. My initial thought was that that first drop was a bit weak, but then the main one came along and all was right with the world.
Tom: Agreed: not sure about those bass synths in the chorus, but everything else about it is good.
Tim: Beat was there, strong vocals (particularly the lengthy drawn out ones over the chorus, and its always nice to have a guy hit the high notes), and, yeah – a strong message.
Tom: That’s a very British indie singer voice, too, and it’s interesting to hear that over the top of something electronic rather than just guitars.
Tim: Yeah – not a million miles away from him off Bastille, really. I like this a lot.
