Short Sharp Shock
I can't stop listening to this.
'Why did we have to meet, on the night I lost my head?'. Indeed.
I reckon a band's b-sides are a good indication of whether they're gonna be sticking around. If you can afford to spare a superb track for a b-side that hardly anyone will ever listen to you're more than likely going to have a few tunes up your sleeve. The A-side on this single, 'The Coast is Changing', is also pretty good - however this is the one that's stuck in my head. So based on my b-side theory you should keep an eye out for this lot.
It's an interesting change of direction for Warp Records as well. They've been dabbling in guitars recently, most notably with !!!, however this is the first time they've released a record by a band with both guitars and haircuts.
All 500 copies of this 7" are long gone, however they're on tour now and there's a new single out at the end of February. Check out their website
