Tim: Tom, I might as well be honest with you and our reader: there does seem to be something of a dearth of fully enjoyable music around at the moment, or at least enjoyable music where the artist has been kind enough to put on YouTube.
Tom: January is always a rough period, or so it seems, but this really does seem to be worse than usual.
Tim: With those expectations set, here’s a track that’s mostly alright.
Tom: Oh, great, deliberate digital glitching in a music video. As for the music…
Tim: Well, there’s quite a lot of good stuff in there, with a good melody and very good vocals.
Tom: Yes, I can’t fault those vocals. It’s just a shame they haven’t been put to something that’s a bit more memorable.
Tim: Yes, and there’s also quite a bit that stylistically I’m really not keen on – most of what follows the middle eight, for starters. But despite being largely built on that style, I like this song.
Tom: I dislike it for the same reason I dislike the music video: it’s too glitchy, too much faffing about, and not enough actual melody or… well, anything.
Tim: Cut it off at the end of the middle eight (which really does have some great vocal work in it) and I’d be very happy with this. As it is: it’ll keep me going.
