I thought of David Byrne too and Lou Reed, but after a while it occurred to me it was similar to the 'Dunedin Sound' in New Zealand: Toy Love, The Chills and The Clean, for example. Those lovely lazy jangly guitars.

+cactaceous What are we doing today, boys? Making a song? Ok. Bring my Velvet Underground, Pavement and Talking Heads records. Lets see. Lets see. Who will we rip off today for this song! Hmmm. Lets start it with a bit of Talking Heads and segue into some VU at the end. Ok? Ok. Song. Sone. Next!

breakfastmachine could say the same thing about ancient music. there's nothing new under the sun. and everything is gonna sound like something else in some way anyway. should stop people from making music. also they don't really sound THAT much like talking heads. I hear alot of other Influences. it's like pavement doesn't make music anymore but if you show me a band that sounds like pavement and makes new music well fuck I'm gonna enjoy that shit lol

@malone.j293 6 жыл бұрын

breakfastmachine this is really one of the few songs on the album that really has a strong TH vibe (and it is very strong for sure). Other songs like the title track Human Performance, I Was Just Here, and Berlin Got Blurry feel like they pull from a lot of different places.

@zakskorik4585 8 жыл бұрын

Why are people comparing this band to the velvet underground? , for a start they can't write songs and are very boring. The v.u wrote some of the most heartfelt, intricate and interesting songs with top lyrics. Most unlike this surge,just awful.
