1 person has reviewed this record. It made them ecstatic! Write a review! Last 1 review(s):
If ever there was a catchy, poppy, 3-minute summer single, this is it. The vocals are well balanced between the male singer's Malkmus-esque tones, and the female's ever-so-catchy 'ba ba ba ba' hook line. The B-side shows an extra level of depth that appeals beyond pure pop sensibilities, and hints that there may be more good tunes to come from this band. Review date: 01 June 2007
What we say
Here's Sad Captains with another summer pop tune with dead pan vocals backed by female ooos and ahhhhs . Here come the hand claps!! b side is a nice enough male/ female duet with pop sensibilities. Good use of wonky cow bell and some unusual sounds which saves it from being a head in the oven job... just What the label says:Fans of melodic pop music rejoice, the debut single from My Sad Captains takes the country-tinged American sounds of Sparklehorse and Wilco and lends them a sparkling, harmony-rich pop edge. Recorded by Dan Lea (By The Fireside, M Craft) at his Golden Hum studio and subsequently mixed by Paul Hollingworth (586) and mastered at Abbey Road, “Bad Decisions” pitches singer Ed Wallis’ languid delivery against Cathy Lucas’ insanely infectious “Ba-Ba-Ba-Da”s for what could well be this summer’s indie underground smash. Not only that, but if you check out the luscious B-side “Here And Elsewhere” you’ll discover it’s merely by dint of BPMs that it’s not the lead track here, the boy-girl vocals intertwining to create a rare fragility. Based in Camden, and named after a poem by Thom Gunn. The band have recently recorded a version of “Hundreds Of Sparrows” for inclusion on the forthcoming Sparklehorse tribute album. |
