The Bird And Tshe Bee like to describe their music as "psychedelic Burt Bacharach". The comparison will only really hold true when they've written their 100th brilliant song, but for the moment it's as good a description as any to describe their clappy, retro sound.
This is the second single from their eponymous album, the follow up to Fucking Boyfriend (somehow I can't imagine Mr B writing a song with a title like that), and it's as breezy and summery a ditty as you could wish for, singer Inara George breezing through the repetitive lyrics in breathy, girly fashion over a tune in which big band meets handbag house, provided by the other half of the band, Greg Kurstin, who also produces.
Fittingly the B side features a cover of Do You Know The (fucking) Way To San Jose, a Bacharach track that’s very hard to sing without sounding shrill or pushing the voice in the higher registers, with which George's reedy voice copes surprisingly well.
