ok these are my live thoughts.
nice mellow beats obviously, in the intro anyway, that's a plus point straightaway.
i like a breathy female vocal, this is far too squeaky. i do like young marble giants and it's got a bit of that, but it's too high and weird.
actually the plinkety plonketing sounds are very reminiscent of ymg aren't there, but the lyrics are really trite and shit and the sounds are just too harsh and abrasive for me. not very nice mellow beats now i come to think of it.
heard this song a million things before, its like kate nash or something isn't it, give it a rest. i sppose we are cursed to constantly have the same problems as weveryone else has had and we need to give our spin on it, but this is definitely not a classic of the genre.
wher ei think it really trips up is the end whistling bit which seems to undercut the actual lyrical tone elsewhere. so that's just a poor decision in terms of deployment of sonic tools. now you could say that naivete is ok, but i would say they've tried something and they've failed.
