Crazy Zany Radio Sunday - 'Hearts' by oOoOO

Every week our contributors will voice their opinion concerning one song, it’s a simple as that! The more the merrier, so people are always welcome to join in, just leave a note, eh.

Track: ‘Hearts’ by oOoOO (listen here)
Average Grade: 5.3

Linda: Oh. My God. This is just a-ma-zing! I just can't stop dancing around the room. Who would have thought this kind of perfection still existed in the world? Of course I'm not referring to the ooOoo song here, but more to my ooOoo reaction on Mark Tuitert winning the gold medal on the 1500m in ice speed skating (Winter Olympics, you know? – ed) which, frankly, I find much more exciting and exhilarating than this particular piece of music.
2.3/10

Jon: 5 minutes 12 seconds of sheer "music to stare at the cracks in the ceiling to" bliss. Not since Krautrock have I felt a need to get the poly-filler out more.
8.9/10

Anna: I think that was supposed to be moody and atmospheric and all that, but here's the thing; I found it quite dull. So, I yawned, and it sounded something like ''OOOooOOooaooaaaaaAAAAeeeEEEEEEE''.
4/10

Craig: This song is an absolute drughaze--fully loaded with distorted female vocals and a creeper vibe that you could totally pass out on a filthy mattress to. The vaguely spaced-out hip-hop beat with 707-sounding claps kind of gives it a primal feel that becomes modernized by intermittent bendy synths and funky guitars. oOoOOther than their terrible name, I'd say this song at least is pretty cool. Kind of like Crystal Castles if they lost their penchant for violence.
8/10

Ilse: All I can think of when I hear this track is: so 'what?' It's not a terrible track, and there's a slight chance it could grow on me, but at this moment it just gives me a headache.
5.5/10

Danielle: How about zZzZZ instead? I'm going to go take a nap.
2/10

Stef: I love the guitar at around the two minute mark. It is a nice song, it just doesn’t grab me like such dark minimalist things are supposed to. The last minute I could easily have done without.
6.5/10
