Perennial favourites here at the antipodean outpost of Backseat Mafia, the glorious The Lovetones are back in the saddle with an intriguing new single ‘Seven Days’ that seems to stash a little Ennio Morricone in its genetic code, with just a touch of oriental exotica also detectable. Matt Tow’s sonorous, thundering vocals are leavened by some delightful harmonies and the ebullient whistling furnishes the trademark jingle jangle guitars.
There is a heavy level of melancholy that seeps through and yet the overall effect is a sense of joyous abandonment with a production that is so crisp you could cut yourself on it:
What an immeasurable delight as always.
‘Seven Days’ is out now and available through the link above and here.
