Morgan ;Sitting in The Sun (Single)
Traditional Chinese proverb: "May you live in interesting times". Agreed- Because whilst people remember where they were when JFK got shot, no-one will ever give a US President's commie-compressing rectum where they were when this came out. Annoyingly, the intro's pretty compelling, with reggae guitar and early Cocteau Twins echoey drum effect, razored apart by glassy girly vocals. Which is MENTAL and BRILLIANT, except then it devolves into sub-Teenage Fanclub indiedom, in a pleasantly boring, where's-me-trainers-I'm-a-student-and-I-love-Bagpuss kinda way, crocheted into place by '60's folk-harmony chorus.
Please note another diplomatic exercise from galled correspondent. Perfect for the Belle & Sebastian contingent; piques further anyone awaiting the next earthquake. I'll get me knitting.
