Thom Yorke had an iron lung, but Matt Hales has an Aqualung, and they're cooler. That'll be why this is the music to the VW Beetle ad.
Straight from the Moby school of marketing, this elegiac single processes forth from nowhere to nowhere sounding vaguely like Radiohead asleep.
"I put a spell on you," groans Matt over plinky-plonky piano and Lambchop-like hush-hush drumming, and we wonder what he's on about. But enough people have seen the Beetle ad, so that'll by rights be a hit in the bag, then. What's weird is, it's probably the weakest track on the exceptionally good forthcoming debut album of the same name.
