3 ...according to our Clinton on 27 November 2006.
First up is ebay favourites Guillemots.
Now you'd have been forgiven for thinking their last single was good by the way
it flew off the shelves. In fact it became a nice little earner for anyone who
bought it as within weeks it was fetching £80 plus. Bonkers. After being
mentally scarred by the Kenny G isms of the last single it was with some
trepidation that we approached this new one. But for an old 80's sophisticated
pop fan like me its a bit of a treat. It sounds exactly like 3rd album era Aztec
Camera with bits of Prefab Sprout, Wah! The Waterboys and The Kane Gang thrown
in............or think about the exact mid point between Matt Bianco and
Mercury Rev. A well crafted pop tune with a completely unnecessary big band style brass
section that will have Jools tinkling away on the old Joanna on their inevitable
appearance on his 'Later' show. The B side has hints of Arcade Fire but is
overly long and self indulgent (drop the sax solos guys).
