Vangoffey - Sucker (Distiller Records)
 |
| Vangoffey - Sucker |
Release Date: 14th March 2016
So this is something of a indie
supergroup and my appetite is officially whet. Put ex-Supergrass drummer Danny
Goffey at the helm and then bring in Babyshambles guitarist Drew McConnell,
Louis from Rialto and the offspring of Pulp bassist Steve Mackey (Marley if you
can fathom it) and you've got some kind of 90s/00s indie gang bang wet dream.
Fey indie orgies aside, 'Sucker' is a summer singalong indie anthem in the
making and if anyone remembers Me Me Me then this is essentially the second
coming of that particular messiah. Disco synths and hand claps are pushed along
but some Dexy's acoustic and the spirit of swinging 60s London whilst a funky
guitar and Bowie style backing vocals ties it all together. Essentially, this
tune is everything that is great about English music all wrapped up in a three
and a half minute parcel so you'd be a fool not to unwrap it.
