So….what the hell have DCFC done?
How’d they go from the untethered ambivalence of “You Are A Tourist”, to the slow-poke, there-but-not-quite-there drab of “Home Is A Fire”, to this? This being “Some Boys”, the latest track offered from the band’s upcoming 26th album “Codes And Keys” (out May 31st), and “this” is fucking good. After the first two tracks I had no desire to listen to any more of the album; their weak and debilitating nature completely turned me off, but being a fan and holding out hope I gave “Some Boys” a try and I’m glad I did.
There’s some actual thought that’s been put into the song this time, from the wayfaring harmonies and slight-dance-drums, to the expansive vocals and somewhat progressive (for them) overall sound, I’ve been listening to it repeatedly…..something that didn’t happen with the others. With just over a month until the album comes out, I hope that I get to hear some new jams from it so I can figure out if it’s gonna be worth my time or not (but so far it’s not).
