When you look at Welshman Griff
Lynch, I don’t think your first thought is ever likely to be to expect perky,
quirky electro-pop. But that’s what ‘Don’t Count On Me’ is. Layers of synths
and electro beats bounce like the rubber balls in Lynch’s press shot – erratic but
full of energy. Think Temposhark, Super Furry Animals, Jim Noir or David Kitt with
a sense of the theatrical applied. Temper all that perkiness, though, with a
sense of gritty realism and a wry smile as Lynch sings “Don’t cry for me, I
wouldn’t cry for you if I had feelings too” in direct contradiction to the
normal sentiment in modern pop songs that seem to suggest all pop stars are
dependable creatures – not a fact that’s borne out by celebrity death rates, I
might add.
