Continuing from Bas Jan's songs, a recent number by the indie Leeds-formed quartet that with frantic energy reveals the impossibility of the 21st century model of freelance employment. With echoes of Pavement, and also of Americans Parquet Courts, compact, economy of style and with sharp-shooting lyrics in a title that isn’t merely about struggling to playing music for a living, frontman Daniel Hyndman express that sense of drowning in a market in which the employer takes no responsibility and the illusion of employer freedom simply means poverty. Out on Dipped In Gold Recordings.
