New single from Gravenhurst on Warp Records. The A side here is fantastic - its much more upbeat than anything I've heard from Gravenhurst before. It drives along in an indie/Strokes type style but don't let that put you off - I'm just trying to give you an impression of the tempo. The lyrics and singing are nice - its a simple tune and an effective one - it just lacks the classic chorus to make it a really great single. Unfortunately the B side is the 100000000000000000000000th cover version of The Kinks 'See my Friends' - does Ray Davies need any more money? - I think not. The Kinks were great but everyone covers them all the bleeding time.

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
