Gomez - Sound of Sounds

From Gomez's third album, In Our Gun, this is an unlikely single choice. But as there really are very few singles on the album, it is better than nothing.

It is essentially no more than a loop of the same section of music which should by rights last no longer than a minute. Instead, it drones on and on for reasons not entirely clear.

The B-side, Ping One Down, is far more interesting and upbeat and might have been influenced by Stealer's Wheel's Stuck In The Middle With You from the Reservoir Dogs soundtrack, with a similar hicksville guitar twang in the background taking us back to classic Gomez territory. It is great, toe-tapping stuff and is the reason this single is worth getting hold of.
