Single Review: Brakes – Hey Hey (FatCat)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 2 March 2009
Brakes return with this, the first single off their third album, ‘Touchdown’, and it’s another joyous slice of no nonsense rock with lyrics this time taking in the story of a shipwreck and the desire to grab life by the horns. In fact, the single package covers all your Brakes bases with the upbeat title track, six second long ‘Consumer, Producer, A Chicken Or An Egg’ and the more elegiac and breezy ‘Set A Course’, which I think I almost prefer to the A-side. So nothing new from the boys but it’s a tempting teaser of more to come and hopefully the new album will be as good as the first two. IM
