Someone from the Glam Rock era?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:06 pm

It's driving me mad trying to work out who this sounds like. rant

Very typical over-tricksiness of arrangement and chord progressions after a monotone opening track.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:06 pm

It's Jake Shears! gasp

Track 3 - The Youth.

Now he's doing Ziggy Stardust.

Well this second track is forgettable.

Sorry, forgotten.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:10 pm

This is more interesting than the second track, mostly because of it going wiggy with the chords.

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:10 pm

Hints of Sparklehorse.

It's the sound of the over compensation because their best song is just a lucky bolting together of a couple of keyboard lines that sound good in adverts.

oops

Hints of Being For the Benefit of Mr Kite.

What does MGMT stand for anyway?

Michael Gambon & Margaret Thatcher?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Mon Jan 06, 2020 9:12 pm

This one's going on a bit longer than it needs to.
