Guy/gals (now only guys, I believe) I liked Fingers Crossed. Owls Go is wonderful. And I love, Love, LOVE In Case We Die. It's a brilliant album. Symphonic twee pop brilliance. Bouncey, joyous Wishbone. Yearning, gentle Maybe You Can Owe Me. Gawd-damned sweet-as-hell What's in Store?.
But at some point you became convicned that Do The Whirlwind was the best thing you'd ever done. It was dancier, more electronica-poppy. It was fine. Not the best song on the album. Heck, maybe the worst. Certainly not the best song you've done.
And yet it is the only song that your new single, Heart it Races (hear it at http://myspace.com/aihmusic) bares any resemblance to you. Someone described this as "electro-calypso" and it is. It's also rubbish. What went wrong?
I don't mind you making dancey music. I'm all for electro-y keyboard and, you know, beats.
But for god's sake BRING BACK THE TWEE!
I'm going to pray the rest of the album doesn't sound too much like this. I really really hope. And if not, maybe you'll make one I like after this.
Don't get me wrong, I am all for bands/changing and growing. But this song is terrible. Don't make me stop calling you one of my favourite bands, AiH.
Lots of (Pending) Love, Miles
EDIT: IGNORE ALL THAT. I just listened to it a few more times and it is no way NEAR as bad as I thought. Hell, it's kinda good.
Repeated Listening. It should probably be enforced by law.
