Tim: Miserable Monday, middle of January, and so I’d like to share this, as Strobe! (a.k.a. two guys called Petter & Isak) and KIDDO have a way of dealing with sadness.
Tom: That’s a promising intro there. I didn’t expect it to be almost-tropical though. (Almost. Change those synths a little and it’d be full 2015.)
Tim: Admittedly, it’s not the song I thought it’d be when I saw the title and first pressed play – it’d probably struggle to get on a lot of daytime radio playlists – but it’s still a good listen. Production’s good, melody’s good, and so even if I can’t quite endorse the message I have a lot of time for it.
Tom: It’d sit nicely in the background of one of those chillout playlists you get on Spotify. I suspect that sounds more harsh than I intended.
Tim: I’d even go so far as to say it has some nice Galantis-y elements in there (and Galantis when they’re good), which as regular readers will know is a heck of a compliment. So me? Well, at the risk of sounding predictable: I’m feeling good.
