Previously, on Europlop:
Tom: Jenn D performed at the Popjustice party last Christmas. You know, the one we went to. And I don’t remember her at all.
Tim: You know what? Me neither. Although, that reminds me…
And now, the conclusion.
Tim: I do remember Dragonette being there. You won’t, because you left early (silly boy).
Tom: Hey, I saw about half their set before exhaustion overtook me.
Tim: Yeah, yeah, yeah, OLD MAN. Anyway, aside from putting on a pretty good performance, they filmed part of the video for the new track there.
Tom: Ooh, body-mount camera. That’s all very nicely done. But which bit was at the gig?
Tim: Specifically, the bit at about 2:32.
Tom: Ten frames? Fair enough. Full marks for learning the song backwards for some of those lip-sync shots, though.
Tim: Clever, isn’t it? It’s all over the place, fitting in nicely with the ‘run, run, run’ idea, and to be honest there’s not a lot I have to say about both it and the music beside gushing compliments (mmm, gushing).
Tom: Lowering the tone as ever. I agree it’s a good track – but, while I know the vocals in a Dragonette song are always beautifully sung but low-key, I can’t help feeling it could use a bit more enthusiasm here and there.
Tim: Really? I think it’s fairly bang on. The backing synths and drums are good, the voice is lovely as usual, melody’s great and the main line in the chorus is as good an example of a ‘get up and dance or be active in some other way’ line that I’ve heard for a while.
Tom: I’m not quite dancing in my seat – to be true, I can’t remember much of it, but I do have a vaguely warm and fuzzy feeling. Is that enough?
Tim: Yes, I suppose so. OLD MAN.
