| Violent Femmes - Love Love Love Love Love |
Release Date: 18th April 2015
Violent Femmes were one of those
bands that formed the soundtrack of my teenage years with a smattering of songs
but I confess I never really delved in to their full catalogue of work so I'm
glad to have the opportunity to scratch a little deeper below the surface of
this near legendary band. The repetitively titled 'Love Love Love Love Love'
(that's Love x 5 in case your counting is not so hot) opens without any fanfare
or introduction but a moody, dramatic acoustic chord and those charismatic
vocals that we all know and love. Some chunky horns and a shuffling, Latino
beat give this tune a real From Dusk Till Dawn vibe but with a There's Something
About Mary sense of dry humour. This is the band's first new material in 15
years and they have managed to maintain their style as well as a sound that
fits in with the lo-fi indie vibes that are getting so much air time at the
moment. Oh, and it all finishes off with a sultry saxophone solo that
snake-hipped bossa nova groove. Welcome back, gentlemen, we missed you.
