the determinedly deep brown, mahogany funk ripples through bass space, a trebled triple throb of pulsing lime lights across the blacquamarine horizon of an emptiness, a fragile space that used to be silence, something vast and empty of infinite, unrealised potential. And then, from the unexpected, a soft suggestion of sound becomes a full-blown, brazen commitment to shake out a rigid rhythmic ribbon of bouncing, punchy stabs of pure colour, robust trembles in a lower register between liquidity and solidity, a rhizomatic slink, a fretted-thing in flight, a riff so urgent, so desperate for expression, so troubled by its uniqueness it never rests, choosing the widening spiral of renewal for self-validation. It struggles to be free, for where could it go that isn't better than where it just was right now?

God I love Snow Patrol's new single. It's really great. The words mean so much. The music's so original. Sound of the summer. All of Britain's dancing to it, i'm sure.

This, however, is a piece of shit. Determinedly deep brown, mahogany shit
