Tom: I’m sure the video means something deep and intriguing, but I can’t work out what it might be.
Tim: I don’t know, but for most of it my main thought was ‘ooh, they’re doing a Westlife.’
Tom: I’ve no idea what to classify this as. Indie, I guess, although that’s a fairly generic term.
Tim: Something like that, although ‘indie’ as a genre always slightly bugs me, in the same way that ‘Foreign’ gets used as a genre for films.
Tom: And I can’t tell you why I like it, either, other than it’s got a vaguely pleasant plinky-plonky type of sound to it.
Tim: Probably because it’s entirely inoffensive. There’s pretty much nothing to dislike about it. It’s not too loud, or too quiet. There’s enough going on for it not to be boring, but not enough for it to be too exciting or raucous. I reckon we could best describe this as ‘fine’.
Tom: It’s not a floor-filler by any means, but it could definitely be seen on the playlist in the “second room” of so many student clubs around the country.
Tim: Yeah – stuck somewhere on the path from Ed Sheer-zzzz-huh? to The Vaccines. Sounds about right.
