The Shortwave Set
Glitches N' Bugs

This record left our Brian feeling sad.

Shortwave Set. I remember they used to be quite good fun in a funky acid jazz hobo psychedelic blues way. Now they've put out this new 'Glitches n Bugs' 7" on Wall of Sound which is possibly the worst British label of all time, bar Skint records. Or Weekender. I've played it twice & it's a plodding indie-soul abomination with dull lackluster girl boy vocals that sound as mundane as deciding what kind of drain cleaner to buy from Wilkinson's on a Sunday before taking the screaming rent-a-tantrum bags of clothes destroying ragamuffins you call your family to the wacky Warehouse for a turgid "roast" & halves of watery stones bitter on erm....a rainy Sunday. In the suburbs of Wrexham. Or Dagenham. Produced by Danger Mouse. I think Penfold would have done a better job. He's currently sat here drying out in a Royal Mail sack after being splashed to fuck in the snow all morning by evil Leeds bus drivers. Poor wee lamb.

What their label says...

Following the widespread critical acclaim bestowed upon their Dangermouse
produced second album ‘Replica Sun Machine’, The Shortwave Set deliver a
single version of the stand out track ‘Glitches ‘N’ Bugs’, a song conceived, so the
band say, as “a celebration of the little irritations and errors which act as a splendid
and wonderful diversion from serious issues infinitely less appealing to consider,
allowing us to conveniently avoid the fact that our lives are falling apart...”.
· The package includes the band’s esoteric take on labelmate Grace Jones’ ‘Slave
To The Rhythm’, where melotron choirs and drum machines combine to haunting
effect, providing a stark backdrop for singer Ulrika’s Nico-esque vocal.
· It also comes backed with new track ‘Homesick’, a Beck-esque slice of hip pop
funk, and remixes that are already causing mild-mannered mania in clubland.
