| Bombers - Forecast/The Way You Think You Look |
Release Date: 5th August 2013
Time for a bit of brooding,
twitchy indie from Birmingham Indie quartet Bombers with their new AA side
single, 'Forecast/The Way You Think You Look'. The first track is a jerky,
sneering song with Mark E Smith tendencies and a vibe that Maximo Park, Joy
Division or Art Brut would happily (oh the irony) absorb. 'Forecast' is a
decent enough tune but it doesn't really plumb deep enough depths or sour to
high enough heights to make me engage with it on any serious level. Sadly, the
link for the 'The Way You Think You Look' doesn't seem to be working so I can't
hear the other half of this single but I did read that the band had been
described as 'recession pop' by their label and I can't think of anything worse
than embracing the feeling a recession and writing music about it. We need
rebellion, escapism, optimism, fighting spirit not the sense that we might as
well just roll over and accept what we get. Worrying times.
