Moon & Back Music

Do you know, I loved this one. The music instantly reminded me of The Fratellis – very jazzy but with a tone of melancholy.
The voice was different, though. It sounded desperate – but the good desperate, almost begging. It was the perfect contrast against the beat and melodies, just as the childlike simplicity of some of the lyrics bounded off the adult language in the next line: ‘I really want to be your friend forever/ You’ve been a bitch, I’ve been an ass’.
The beauty of this song is that its something everyone can relate to – if not having been there yourself then having the thoughts play about in your mind; of going from friends to lovers, and what would happen if it turned to shit.
The tempo change reminded me (somehow) of the Mighty Boosh. It was expertly imperfect, another experiment in the muddle that worked brilliantly. It is a very easy song to listen to, even easier to like, and it grabbed me instantly.
