CMU Approved
Approved: The Drums (SNAP Of The Day)
By CMU Editorial | Published on Wednesday 9 September 2009
‘Let’s Go Surfing’ might be the best song to include a whistling hook since ‘Young Folks’. It certainly manages to be as instantly catchy, combining jangly surf-rock guitars with a breathy delivery and near-whispering playground chant mid-song. Second streaming track ‘I Felt Stupid’, meanwhile, sounds closer to The Cure, with a New Order synth interlude and hearty slice of white noise filling out the end, along with an oddball snippet of giggling children. As its rite of passage, NME have already given them a ludicrously hyped new band review, while they’re also locked in for UK dates in Manchester, Cardiff and London soon. Good stuff.
