Tim: Remember this lot, off the phenomenally good Hollywood Hills a few years back?
Tom: As ever, no, but I’ll roll with it anyway.
Tim: This is their first one in quite some time; treat yourself by pressing play, why don’t you. (Music starts at 0:35, if you don’t want the backstory.)
Tim: And what a sweet song that is, sort of – this lovely man offering to be a real dick just to rub in the fact that he’s dumped her. Isn’t that adorable? NO. But, it does make for some fun lyrics, as however iffy the profile picture line may be as a lyric, it did make me smirk a bit (as, in fact, did the very first line, just because it was an immediate swerve out from any expectations).
Tom: That whole opening was a swerve: I was not expecting the chorus to crash in on the very first bar.
Tim: No, but it’s a good chorus, all bouncy and fun. The rollerbladers are there because, well, I guess she has to have a pastime really–
Tom: That’s roller derby, mate. Careful confusing the two. You’re right that it isn’t relevant to the video, though. I was hoping they’d start knocking the band over a bit earlier rather than just cutting to black.
Tim: Yeah, that would have been fun. But all in all I quite enjoy this. It’s not as wonderfully intense as their previous work, but it’s a fun track, and often fun’s what you need.
