Brooklyn duo Great Good Fine OK
sound like the response of a passive aggressive, beaten down husband who knows
it's just not worth the argument. What GGFO actually are is a pair of 80s electro
inspired popsters that want to make you dance as much as think. The EP opens up
with the infectious 'You're The One For Me' which is nothing like the similarly
titled Smiths song as it actually bounces, swerves and jiggles like a hot-pant
wearing disco queen with only dance in her soul. 'Not Going Home' is up next and
has a more child-like innocence to it with melodies that Mika would have loved
and that pure 80s pop feel running through the core.
The Jean Michel-Jarre meets
Vampire Weekend in a Miami cocktail bar vibe of 'By My Side' is something to
behold and you can almost picture the white suit jackets, wet perms and neon
leg warmers. 'Say It All' brings matters to a close with what appears to be an
electro-pop ballad that never really hits the emotional heights you might hope
for but does tick most of the atmospheric electro boxes that bands aim for
these days. This is polished pop music with slick production and some luxurious
vocals that, as a package, is pretty hard to ignore or resist.
