AMAZING BABY, HEADDRESS

From the opening of Headdress, it is perfect for radio. Catchy intro guitar, Britpop-esque 'aahs', generic chord changes and self-conscious, breathy male vocals all add up to a great track for rock radio stations everywhere. The lyrics are just saucy enough to cause a stir, maybe some mild shock, but not so risqué as to cause the song to be banned - the amount of controversy ideal for a radio hit. The main problem is, it is nothing more than 'perfect for radio'. It does not withstand many listens, and within its 3:58, gets rather boring; even skilful guitar playing cannot save it from this fate. Fans of Kids In Glass Houses, Hockey and (possibly) MGMT might see something in this track, but I predict: not for long.

Haha I think it's left people speechless. It is an absolute belter, the first four songs have been on repeat in my head for about a week straight. The vocalist really reminds me of the guy from Pomegranates voice too, which is lush. [view article]
