| This is a wonderfully odd single indeed, and one we probably won't hear the like of for quite some time. It's essentially a pastoral, cute little pop song, albeit one that's been refracted through The Looking Glass and come out the other side all, like, psychedelic and stuff. Through a hallucinogenic cloud of colors, you can make out traces of laidback Americana, warped hip-hop, some woozy synths and - don't run off just yet tune fans - even a proper chorus, like what pop songs have and that. Think Beck chilling out to Boards of Canada (who are on remix duties) whilst tripping his nuts off on acid, or Grandaddy, Plaid and Saint Etienne all dueling in a room filled with helium. Does that make it any clearer? Probably not but, come on, I bet you're intrigued aren't you? Quietly beguiling and slyly seductive,"Dead Dogs Two" is a quaint little treasure. - CMU Daily |
