Who’ve got echoy guitar to start with, laid back, then some great guitar fuzz breaks in, nice vocals and then the big break whaps you in the ear.

They’re singing of Empty Spaces this time, are the vocals double tracked or are there two of them, great sound, relax to this one in between the loud stuff.

Well we do have some strange vocals on this one, is it Bjork coming in the back door, but it’s not bad at all and with plenty of percussion.

Power chords, loud drums, it’s rock’n’roll but surely a glass menagerie wouldn’t last long, then the synth gets going, still it seems to work, gets the foot tapping.
