being 747/the lodger
first release in the second supersevens series, featuring the gloriously messy being 747, who continue with their personal quest to fuck up pop music whilst making the listener chuckle along to their digs into modern cultural entities such as nhs online, (opening 30 seconds features ambulance sirens to appropriately set the scene). vibrant, urgent guitar driven passion and declarations of 'wrong diagnosis' fight with the blistering organ riffs, that anyone who checked out the bands debut album, will know all about. excellent stuff of course.
next up it's dance to the radios' recent 7" stars - the lodger. who come across as a lot more laid back, providing a fine slice of classic old school indie guitars which jingle jangle like 1986 all over again, and thus providing calm after the storm of the a-side. sweetly innocent boy-girl harmonies drive the up beat groove along despite the lyrics involving the genres clichés of lost loves. what a cracking start to the second series.
