The weekly froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer’s fancy.
Track of the week: ‘Dawning’ by Box Codax
This song is by Nick McCarthy’s side project and forms one side of a split with artist Martin Creed. I must say, I quite fancy this. If you are expecting anything like Franz Ferdinand, you might want to expel those thoughts before you listen to this, for you will be sorely disappointed. It has this Nouvelle Vague ’50s vibe for me, though it has a hint of Franz Ferdinand’s slower work in it as well, especially in its diction and timing. The song starts with some really high vocals, which in essence is the chorus. The verses are a bit lower in that regard. I love the soft melancholy that the song embodies. The last thirty seconds, I lost a bit of focus there despite it only runs for four minutes or thereabouts. Aside from that, a terribly good song if you are up for it.
