LibraLibra – Loverboy
LibraLibra - Loverboy
Release Date: Out Now
I played my fair share of Dream Phone
at university (long story, don’t ask) but I don’t remember it the way Brighton
outfit LibraLibra bring it back to life in the new video for their latest
single. That said, LibraLibra are not your average band content with just
churning out singles unless they have excellent artwork and thought-provoking
visual accompaniment – it’s not their bag. ‘Loverboy’ opens with a faux-80s jingle
with some sinister bearded teen-girls before settling in to an aggressively
slinky melody that struts and grinds in all the right places. The chorus takes
equal measure of Lush, Shampoo and Transvision Vamp while the song continues to
wrap its pointed tail around your soul to lead you on to the dance floor. On
the surface, this is trashy and brassy indie-pop but there so, so much beneath
the surface that it’s really worth your time to dig down like an archaeological
dig through the last three decades using a pic’n’mix scoop.
