Weekly mp3 #52: Mobius Band - Friends Like These (and another whole EP of goodies)

Well, I guess week 52 means I've done this for a year. Or maybe next week will be a year, like how 2001 is the first year of the 3rd millenium... Crazy maths!

Anyway, this week's mp3 is from the Mobius Band's own website.

Major pop hooks and quirky production. The verses are all crashing drum machines and weird bendy synth chords, with a guy singing in a slightly country rock vibe, then the cheery straightahead chorus reminds me of nothing so much as Nik Kershaw stuff like 'I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me'. Then we're back into syncopated drum machine land.

I've found Mobius Band a bit patchy over the years, but have been enjoying this tune a lot for the last year and a half or so. I've already linked you to the band's site above. They're an American 3 piece and have put out a few albums. If you liked this tune, I'd recommend checking out the free release they put out on Valentine's Day, Empire of Love. It's a bunch of covers, ranging from Gram Parsons to Kanye West. I'll certainly be checking out their next release...
