It\u2019s like a cleaned up \u201cHand In My Pocket\u201d with a banjo in there, and the drums are \u201cproperly\u201d recorded, not as gritty. The title reminds me of a segment of Top Gear which *shock horror* I\u2019ve never seen but was having a conversation with someone about the other day! Very strange\u2026 <br \/><br \/>This is full of great moments one of my favourites being the breakdown point of just her voice at 1:26 over a synth and the banjo, it\u2019s such a simple thing but it\u2019s moments like that that make me sit up. My other favourite part is at 2:30 where she just simply sings ooh ooh and it leads you to an outro that is just so joyous. Perfect for a sunny friday morning!<\/p>\n<p>East London based Rubberband Girl blends soulful troubadour elements of the 70s with lightweight modern textures from the 90s and 00s. Written in an intimately small shed-studio in north London and recorded at RAK Studios, the music explores themes of nostalgia, relationships and post-modern life with tongue in cheek attitude over a genre-bending soundscape of synths and organic instruments.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the new single from Rubberband Girl and\u2026 it\u2019s a cracker.
