A white mixed voice far forward, Ultravoxienne an intro, a haunting mid-tempo, a refrain in suspension which resolves itself gradually into a long crescendo of layers, a guitar solo on the edge of the contry ,.... This piece has everything to please me. I know nothing Hurts , except that Popjustice loves and they are from Manchester. But do we really need to know more about a group to love his music?
The last time I was so thrilled for a song that came out of nowhere, it was in 2002. Already a clip black and white male English already a duet, a song already plying between pop and electronica.
I am very predictable actually.
At the time, when I predicted that this song would be a worldwide hit, it did not market. I've never heard of Syntax nowhere, not even in Inrocks (though still quite fond of trip-hop at that time). Hope that my enthusiasm is not new to the premise of a predicted failure.
PS: For those who do not follow me on Twitter, I want to RESIGNAL interview with Liz Fraser in the Guardian.
