Tim: It is entirely possible that many people will have no time for this at all; nonetheless. there are a number of moments in here where I thought “ooh, I’m excited”, and by and large, they held up, so have a listen.
Tom: Playing ‘spot the London location’ in the video was fun, if nothing else. Full marks to the director for… well, basically everything there. So what were you excited by?
Tim: The first moment I really liked about that came at the 40 second mark, where it began as much of a build as is possible with a track that’s (at that point) instrumentally largely silent with the occasional drumbeat, and the first instance of that chorus sounded pretty good. Immediately flowing into the second verse kept me going, and then when everything comes back after the thirty second cut out in the video with a whole load of new instruments then as far as I’m concerned, it’s all quite lovely.
Tom: And for once, I’m in agreement, although I think again that might be more down to the director of photography than the producer of music. Still, there was nothing that actually put me off in there; by my standards that counts as a victory.
Tim: When it went quiet in the video I thought “blimey, do we really need another minute and a half?”, and it turns out that actually, what with where it was going, yes we do. And I’d happily have plenty more as well, so thanks Tove!
