The second EP by The Saturday Guy on
Dufflecoat Records is much like the first: slightly under stated but well crafted pop music. "Better leave me" has a pleasing semi-acoustic vibe and a warmth to it, a song that just sounds like it was made for an intimate setting. Now some songs are made for arenas and some for tiny little venues like this one. They are easy to tell apart as the former are rubbish and the latter awesome.
"Blackened heart"is very pared back before building into something ...er... less so. Another nice acoustic driven song. "Frozen Monday" has some mouth organ and a laid back folksy feel that builds and builds, even goes a bit shuffley which i love!
And so this EP continues, its all lovely stuff. and more importantly intelligent pop like on "What does it mean to decide" which hits all the right introspective and reflective vectors to be an indie pop classic. Its my favourite off the EP though all the songs are some level of good. Another Indonesian C86 classic.
Released on Dufflecoat early January 2012
