Don’t Turn Me Away
I almost forgot what it’s like to hear actual songs.
Now, before you get excited, these are not great songs.
They sound like what you would expect from ELO if Jeff Lynne left and only a couple players were left to make a record.
It’s mid-70s honky-tonk glam and I guess that’s fine in a Brinsley Schwartz kind of way but haven’t we moved past this?
I’ve become way too jaded at this point.
These guys are too erudite to be songwriters. “Overdraft in Overdrive” should have been a Squeeze track. That’s what they really remind of, Difford and Tilbrook at their least catchy.
I really just don’t like your songs, guys.
