Not sure about this. The lyrics are good, the idea is simple and good and the backing suitably sparse, but it doesn’t send me rushing to hit ‘repeat’. It’s just a bit unremarkable. It was mixed in London by Strokes producer Gordon Raphael but it doesn’t really ever suggest a rise to Strokes levels of originality. Backing is just a bit too dull and lets down what you can clearly hear are good ideas.
