Look Vibrant - "Grow Up". An avalanche of a song, rocky and jagged, rainbow-grey all over the habitations. Distortion and noise, chunks of guitar and shrapnel-like drums, a voice fighting through the hail. Look Vibrant continue to deal in splendid catastrophe, noise-pop almost too thick to bear. [bandcamp]
Michael Chapman - "You Say". From 1969. I'm not sure if Chapman is following the bassline, here, or if the bassline's following him. Just that despite the circling acoustic guitar figure and the forays of Chapman's voice, the bass is the thing that dictates the tone of this song: despite farewell or break-up or fade-out, "You Say" is not beleaguered. It's not melancholy. It's hopeful and good-humoured, a wandering tune with a ready grin, like a polished apple in a pocket.
