What we say

Rating: happy This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Phil says I have to be nice to Those Dancing Days and their new single 'Hitten' And you know what? As they're from Sweden and this brilliantly catchy, swirling & timeless sounding tune has well & truly trounced the others so far this week i'm darn well going to be. The keyboard sounds ancient for godsakes. The guitars casually jangle, the drums are natural & playful, female vocals shout "pure & melodic", like the girl should be in a sultry chart pop band instead, but this is what MAKES the song SO good!. And that keyboard......it sounds like it's been rotting in Julian Cope's cellar for the last two decades. This is the most easygoing single I've heard so far this year. Just effortless, addictive & slightly unpolished, like a shiny unearthed demo from a new wave band that cold shouldered the rest of the scene. A lost 80s pop classic that was to cool for the decade (hence it fits 2008 like a glove!), 'Tasty Boy' on the flip is slightly in debt to prime time Blondie but proves they've got plenty of reserve! 7"/CDs

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
