I know his album was out for a while but, as often is the case, I refused to give this guy a chance because everyone else was hyping him up. One day not long ago, after hearing about him for the thousandth time, I caved. This was a good thing. He has a couple of pretty good songs. He has some shitty songs too but let’s not get into that too much suffice to say that sometimes the same loop goes on for too long and he seems to mistake kitsch for irony.
This particular song succeeds because it blends just enough funkyness, electroness and disconess to make me feel like a sexual tyrannosaurus rex when it comes on in my i-pod. It’s got a little rockyness to it too that gives it a little extra edge. This is music to strut to. In this song, the repetition works in it’s favour because it just repeats awesomeness. Sometimes you just wanna hear the same awesome loop repeated for 4 minutes. That’s life.
