I just think this is a great little track from a great little band. 'I want To Hear What You Have To Say' by The Subways, a three piece UK busk suite.
It's generated with a smashing - furtive - little energetic uber-urch which drags the plaintive and poignant girl/boy voices out to the every edge. Rasping guitars, layered on top of the initial undulating jumbo acoustic give it that sort of pzaz schlock that all great sounds need. The rhythm is insistent and driving, but the clinching feature is that it resonates with the audience, and, in that sense it is TV Smith punky.
It has the dynamic of sweet strawberries, the axe hidden behind the double cream, the bitter-sweet appeal of an angst-ridden beast from a very dark forest, in an soulful kind of way - James Brown meets the Small Faces dubbed by The Clash. It reminds me of those dark heart lost boys days of existing only for the weekend in an idiotic sort of way...oh and, of course, its unpretentious...!
