Album Notes & Community Reviews
A beautifully orchestrated indie pop track featuring sweeping strings, bright glockenspiels, and Tracyanne Campbell's charming, wistful vocals. The song heavily evokes classic 1960s girl-group melodies and firmly cemented the Scottish band's status as masters of modern twee pop.
