It's a great song. I just listened to their self-titled again, great fukkin album. It's odd, all their songs sound samey which is perhaps the product of being self-produced...but still being self-produced and still great is a feat in itself.
Waiting for that Wild Nothing album myself though..and the xx now.
It seems to stem largely from Jamie xx as all the other shyt he does sounds the same too, but that sound is magical. Like Beach Boys on lean. But then couple that with some genuinely good songwriting and it's magical.
That's what stuck out about them to me most, honestly. After I knew the songs by heart I could still fukk with the lyrics. Their hooks are fukking special tbh
I'm really just waiting for Air France and Phoenix to drop something. I don't even know what Air France do with their lives as it's certainly not making music, and Phoenix claimed to be far along in songwriting a year and a half ago. They're so fukking European about this.
That Wild Nothing should be pretty dope, but honestly the dream pop movement is kinda wearing thin on me. Feels like out of nowhere a million people hopped on that wave, and they're forgetting the "pop" part of it. It's been like a year of Dream Overlydrawnoutbullshytwithnocatchyhooks.
and Kanye needs to give my cac Mr Hudson a release date. Two Cities and Straight No Chaser are personal favorites.
