To kick off the faves this week, we have a new one from Dirty Nice, I actually reviewed them way back in 2023, and I noted back then that they were capable of songs that would get stuck in your head and this is no different.
It’s good and energetic, with lots of great guitar work, and shouty bits that will stay with you but then that’s their MO. I particularly like the way it begins with the ooh whoah oh in the intro, the chorus alone is worthy of being played loud. This goes through peaks and troughs where in the verses it goes quiet and then builds up into the chorus, and makes for a very enjoyable listening experience.
Definitely a favourite for me on this week’s listening post!
Dirty Nice is Don’t Hug Me I’m Scared composer Charlie Pelling’s musical project, with Lisbon-based musician Mark Thompson. Pelling is fast becoming the go-to composer in the UK comedy scene, working with the likes of 2022 Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Sam Campbell and BAFTA winner Jamie Demetriou (Stath Lets Flats, Fleabag).
I really need to get some merch from their site!
