Single review

The Electric Soft Parade

Misunderstanding

added: 7 Jul 2007 // release date: 23 Jul 2007 // label: Truck Records
reviewer: Rob Barnett

A cracking song that is clean and clear with a searing 60's influenced US west coast chorus that beautifully dominates. The opening chirpy guitar sets the tone for an ultra infectious slice of sunny jangly indie pop.

The Brighton based brothers Alex and Tom White, at the heart of the band, also ply their considerable talents to Brakes alongside Eamon Hamilton ex of British Sea Power. Their original posts however have produced many glorious moments, with Misunderstanding hitting a very high mark indeed. So much so its on continuous loop while i'm tapping at the keys, and each time the chorus hits with fresh, affecting emotion.

The single comes with a cover of the late Billy McKenzie's heart wrenching Blue It Is, as performed at a tribute night for the ex Associates singer.

I'll say it again, a cracking song.
