Kicking off like a warped version of 'There She Goes' by The La's, 'Moth's Wings' almost immediately moves into Frightened Rabbit meets The Polyphonic Spree territory. By that, I mean a stunning combination of melancholic lyrics, pounding drums, big choruses and an overwhelming sense of euphoria.
Shame it isn't a single, it's certainly one of my favourite tracks of the year and might have put paid to those MGMT comparisons. Although other new-song-off-album 'Little Secrets' is a more typical synthy hipster party jive - albeit with added catchy singalong fun from a bunch of kids who were probably passing by the studio during recording or something. It also sounds a bit like Michael Jackson covering the amazing Talking Heads track, 'Once In A Lifetime'. I say that more as a justification to repost this bizarre video of Kermit the Frog pretending to be David Byrne but 'Little Secrets' is pretty ace too. Same as it ever was.
