Frida Sundemo – Indigo

Tom: And now, the creepiest video I’ve seen in a little while.

Tim: Having previously worked as a mascot for the best part of a year, I’d like to express my disapproval that he’s not wearing paws. That there makes it quite clear that it is not, in fact, a massive bunny rabbit that she’s having relationship issues with, which is just not right.

Tom: “You’re an indigo”?

Tim: YOUR MUM’S AN INDIGO.

Tom: Look, I know I shouldn’t complain about nonsense lyrics in pop, but that’s nonsense in several different ways.

Tim: Shouldn’t you? Why on Earth not? We complain about everything else, and this is just bloody ridiculous.

Tom: And maybe I could forgive it if the rest of the track was worth it: but the rest of the track just kind of squats around for a bit.

Tim: ‘Squats.’ That’s a good word to use. Well done.

Tom: She’s singing, yes, and there’s some instrumentation. It’s upbeat, sure, but for want of a better metaphor it just seems to be running on the spot, never quite going anywhere. Aside from the brief middle eight, it’s all the bloody same. Sometimes that works, and here… here it doesn’t.

Tim: Yep. That sums it all up pretty well.
