John De Sohn feat. Kristin Amparo – Dance Our Tears Away

“a properly heavy pop-dance track”

Tim: This has been out a while, but it’s just been re-released, for unimportant reasons, and it’s got a video. And, boy, do I love this video (though you can skip to 44 seconds).

Tom: I’ve always wondered why you’d have a chicken character selling fried chicken. “Here, come and eat me!”

Tim: Here is what I love most about the video: there’s the occasional shot in there that shows that whoever’s in the chicken suit is a fairly talented dancer, particularly in the chicken/dog dance-off (THERE’S A CHICKEN/DOG DANCE-OFF), and yet this particular performer has chosen to sod doing any serious stuff, that he might get some sort of credit for, and has instead decided to jump around like a total bellend making people happy. Giving lap-dances, stealing a longboard, having a dance-off. As you do.

Tom: As, indeed, you do. Quite literally, if I remember.

Tim: Pretty much, yes. Never stole a longboard, mind, but I did go some way towards slightly vandalising Vancouver Airport. It’s brilliant. So well done to him, and well done to whoever came up with the idea. I LOVE IT.

Tom: We’re actually here to talk about the music, of course.

Tim: We are, and that’s quite good as well.

Tom: It really is: a properly heavy pop-dance track that’s make me head straight for the floor if I was in a club. There isn’t much more to add to that, other than: more like this, please, both music and video.
