...according to our Clinton on 24 September 2009.

Anything is going to sound good after that but I'm struggling with this Wildbirds and Peacedrums single. I have never heard them before but have heard a lot about them and their supposedly amazing live displays. The A side is called 'My Heart' and it consists of a woman wailing over some drums and steel drums. A bit plodding - she has a good strong set of pipes though I feel she's oversinging a bit. A little bit on the whiny side. It doesn't strike me as a particularly strong A side and I can't imagine it rising to the top of the hit parade. Again I can't really pick out a tune. The B side is a remix by Deehoof. They've thankfully added some instruments to the very sparse original but otherwise the song is exactly the same in terms of structure. Maybe thats the point. The A side now sounds like the B side with the guitars removed. A funny old business. This one comes out on Leaf.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

'My Heart’ is Wildbirds & Peacedrums’ first ever physical single release, and is the epic album closer to 2009’s widely acclaimed second album, The Snake (BAY65LP/CD).

Limited Edition individually-numbered red vinly 7" , 300 only for UK.

Includes the album version of ’My Heart’, backed with an unexpectedly bluesy guitar-driven remix by Deerhoof that completely transforms the song.

Following marvellously transcendent live shows all over the world this year (they were Dazed & Confused’s pick of this year’s SXSW and for a glimpse as to why have a look at their live version of the single here:
