BSITWT
Our whenever-we're-arsed feature, born out of a series of outrageously giddy and hyperbolic text messages proclaiming whatever song we happened to be listening to at the time to be 'The Best Song In The World'.
Resulting confusion necessitated the 'Today' qualifier to be appended.

About Us
Beyond the Big Wave is a place where you’ll find self-involved and over-stated thoughts on records, gigs, life, politics and other (generally music-related) drivel. Expect unreasonable derision, baseless hyperbole and petty one-upmanship in abundance throughout our endeavours. We fully intend on stealing the internet connection from our helplessly oblivious neighbours.

Our Flawless Theory
A strike, a smack, a state so dreary,
Alas, the proof! Our flawless theory.
Fear not, let’s go - let’s be brave.
Let’s search, let’s float

I find this a very forgetful tune. I have listened to it a good few times in the last week but even immediatly after listening to it, I forget what it goes like!
ReplyDeleteSorry
It's definitley not a slow-burner alright, but I think it's a nice bit of New Order / Joy Division plagiarism-pop. Nice structure to it, and the soft vox reverb lets the guitars take over.
