| De Staat - Down Town |
Release Date: 24th November 2014
Well this is not what I expected
from a group of Dutch indie-rockers, I have to admit. 'Down Town' is a
seriously dark song with a video to match and I can't recommend it highly
enough! There are various film noir influences, both aurally and visually, but
the Mark Lanegan vocals, eery melodies and shuffling rhythms are enough to put
even the toughest henchman on edge. Nerves are soothed only by the soft, sultry
female vocal in the chorus but by that point you suspect the chanteuse may have
poisoned lipstick or, at the very least, a small pistol nestled between her
breasts. This is the kind of song that, were it to come on the car radio, would
make you check your rear view mirror and back seat......just in case.
