Blur’s Graham Coxon and former Pipettes’ Rose Elinor Dougall combine in this fabulously sharp, fast, witty, post-punk electro-pop number that cries out on escaping the confines of technology and other distractions. Mixing keyboards, scorching guitar part, sax and semi-spoken and sung vocals, it’s full of quickly delivered, memorable lines such as “Unplug the radio/ Unplug the TV/ Unplug the internet/ And while you’re there unplug me.” The creative process is borne from “a shared love of English folk music, storytelling and the associated landscapes of this beleaguered island, the collaborators grew in confidence to start voyaging into uncharted waters. The sound developed slowly but surely, voices and words started to find their natural space, guitars and saxophones made clarion calls, strings lifted into other stratospheres.” Out on Transgressive Records, with more releases to come.
