GRANT – Waterline

“I almost binned it off, but don’t do that.”

Tim: So here’s GRANT who’s new out of Sweden, not sure if there’s any justification for the caps lock but there you go. I almost binned it off after halfway through the first verse, but don’t do that.

Tom: I’m going to assume this isn’t a Jedward cover. I can only hope.

Tim: Hope? Mate, that Jedward track’s brilliant. But no, no it isn’t.

Tim: And well just what a song that builds up to. Well, what a great chorus and a heck of a vocal, backed up by an excellent pile of backing singers, really, because from the middle eight onwards this is getting on for being somewhat flawless.

Tom: Yes, I can see why you nearly binned it off. It takes its time to get there, and even that second verse isn’t really much.

Tim: Sure, it’s a bit minor key and miserable to start with, and the first chorus only does a slight amount to perk it up before the next verse drops it back down; the second half, though, doesn’t put a foot wrong, and indeed puts so many feet right that it’s hard not to forgive it the first half.

Tom: My jaw actually dropped a little at That Note. You know the one.

Tim: I know the one, and I will, overall, give it a good thumbs UP. More please.
