For those of you that like your music to have a slightly retro sound, look no further than the Sidecar Kisses to get your kicks. Their influences go way back, all the way to 4AD. Not the year obviously: the label. They sound an awful lot better than some Neanderthal beating two rocks together.
Wirestripper is propelled by a big solid bass line, not dissimilar to the kind of thing you'd find gracing The Breeders' Cannonball, or any number of old Mclusky songs. There's some fine angular guitars here too that fade in and out of consciousness in a thoroughly pleasing manner.
What makes Wirestripper stand out from countless other songs that follow a similar route is the twin vocals of Ritz and Rhydian. The vocal lines twist around each other entwining like a pair of hysterical lovers, crossing several emotional boundaries in the space of a couple of minutes. Never has the singing of "I really don't care" sounded less convincing. Sidecar Kisses obviously care, and so should you.
