| Saint Agnes - A Beautiful Day For Murder |
According to Wikipedia, Saint
Agnes was a 13 year old girl who was the patron saint of chastity, gardeners,
engaged couples, rape victims, virgins and, well, girls. This is a lot of
responsibility for a young teenage girl and, apart from the gardening thing, is
pretty weirdly sexual as well. This has nothing to do with the band's music,
necessarily, although there is a darkly sensuous tone to this new single from
the London combo. 'A Beautiful Day For Murder' takes the sexuality of Goldfrapp
and blends with the spirit of a Tarantino movie and the raw energy of the White
Stripes at their moodiest. The twang-heavy guitars and rolling drums are glued
together by the thick, sticky organ and sultry, smoky vocals of the
appropriately named Kitty. This is music to murder to, for sure, but if
murdering isn't your thing then why not use this number to make a move on
someone you've got the lusts for - if they can get off to this then you're in
for a good night and no mistake.
