It’s April 2007. For Suburban Kids With Biblical Names, the battle between man and machine has ended in inappropriately affectionate displays of humancomputer interaction. This is documented in the lead track of their new EP Loop Duplicate My Heart: “I’ve found a reason for not going out tonight, I’m making out tonight, with my computer”. As one review put it, this is “joyous, inventive music about the process of making joyous and inventive music. Over skittering electronic beats, 10cc-esque whooshes of keyboards, and handclaps we get a delightful hymn to the emancipating delights of home recording”. For those who feel that only one world-beating tune is not enough to convince you of their greatness, there’s three marvellous b-sides! The pick of the bunch is probably “Noodles” (Chorus: Noodles are the smell of denial, you will never grow up), described by Johan Suburban Kid as the perfect theme tune for films such as Big Momma’s House or any American sleaze movie. I’m not sure what this means, but I reckon even Jarvis would kill to write lines as perfect as: “What matters is I don't have to talk about the weather with some DJ dude with his shiny boots of leather with his new-found love for romance, but with that he means sex. There's a Falcon Crest side to everything, don't trust anyone or any thing.”
