The Foot & Leg Clinic – Where did all the fruit go?
There’s always somebody smarter than you, someone who looks better in a leather jacket, someone who is charming while making small talk at a boring function. And whether you hate these people makes no difference at all.
They’re probably playing in a band. They’re always playing in a band. And, it’s probably one of those bands that people jump on a train to go and see, even if they’re playing in a small village.
If there’s any consolation, despite their wits, good looks and charms, the eternal questions, not to mention financial uncertainties, affect us all. The Foot & Leg Clinic want to make sure that you understand how these things go.
“Where did all the fruit go?” is a piece of highly melodic garage rock that feels recorded on a cassette tape by people who only use retro gear. It sounds pleasant, but lo-fi, even as the lyrics deal with the idea of “success” and why getting something worth taking a picture of and sending to your mother always has to be so difficult.
Loose Content – Big Bright Burning Sun
What would soundtrack a pre-Armageddon party? Since the vast majority of people nowadays, especially the more sensitive souls, feel that some kind of global catastrophe might be imminent, it would be best to consider the possibility.
If you’re worrying about nobody tuning in for the event, about people losing their wits in the face of such horror, don’t be. When nothing will be left to be saved, most folks will breathe a sigh of relief and crack open the champagne.
That’s why the music has to be similarly geared toward mindless fun. We’ll need a bunch of processed dance music, some faceless pop stars, and some crooners from the 1970s. Just make sure not to invite Loose Content.
That’s because the recent single “Big Bright Burning Sun” is enough to remind people tuning in about all the things that they could’ve done to avoid the disaster and about all of the time that they had to do something about it.
Loose Content, by the band’s own admission, sounds like environmentally-conscious Aussie rockers Midnight Oil if given a hard-rocking makeover. It’s a strong sound and, hopefully, a powerful reminder.
