Caesars - It's Not The Fall That Hurts

buy music

The popularity of Caesars has been bolstered of late due to Apple choosing past conquest, Jerk It Out, as the soundtrack to one of the recent iPod adverts. Jerk It Out, culled from the last album 39 Minutes Of Bliss (In An Otherwise Meaningless World), was re-released and earned a position on the new album, Paper Tigers. Despite this, It's Not The Fall That Hurts will be seen as the first single proper.

Built around a trademark Caesars kitsch, quirky, rhythmically driving guitar line, It's Not The Fall That Hurts boasts a radio friendly formula, but the pace seems to be tapered in comparison to the dynamite singles of old.

The track hails a new Caesars: Their sweaty garage style is still raw and cool as fuck, but the arrogant, explosive strut of previous efforts has been replaced by a more poignant, knowing swagger - that likes to rock.
