You know when you hear a song and
it feels like it’s been rummaging around at the back of your consciousness
forever and a day? Step forward ‘Chinese Floats’ by Deadleg. Fronted by Paul
Bardsley ex of Molly Half Head and Wireless, Deadleg combine the angular indie
of Orange Juice with Northern Soul and the mass appeal, rightly or wrongly, of
Britpop. The guitars are suitably shuffling and jangly while the drums keep
things perky beneath the understated vocal style of Bardsley. Incorporating the
everyman indie-pop melodies of Lightning Seeds, Badly Drawn Boy or Teenage
Fanclub means this has a strong chance of showing up on a Match of the Day goal
of the month montage and worming it’s way in to your subconscious as well so,
you know, watch out for that.
