Tim: Wait, Ladyhawke’s back?
Tom: Our reader, Oscar, sends this in with the comment “Ladyhawke hasn’t had much presence for the last few years and is making a comeback with this track and an upcoming album.”
Tom: WHAT A CHORUS. You’re the ephemeral-electronica-pop fan out of the two of us, though, Tim: what do you think?
Tim: I think that is very, very much what a love song sounds like. You’re right – that chorus is just brilliant.
Tom: For my money, the verse doesn’t quite work well enough — but the chorus more than makes up for it.
Tim: It really does – it puts me in mind of CHVRCHES at their very very best, and in fact it’s exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for from their second album.
Tom: It’s interesting how, listening through, I can sort of predict where the melody’s going — but I don’t know whether it’ll be the vocals or synth line that’ll follow my prediction. This is interesting, complicated, and fun. I like it.
Tim: I’ve done some clicking around, and Sweet Fascination was put out at the same time – it’s not quite as great, but it’s sure as hell making me look forward to the beginning of June, when the new album’s out. BRING IT.
