Kid Canaveral - Smash Hits

 

It's a familiar conundrum: "She's fit, but her music taste's shite." Erase Errata vs. Neil Sedaka. And you might dwell on this - the most wretched of relationship killers - until such time as she tells you to "stick it up yer arse." It's no ideal situation to be caught up in, and Kid Canaveral's David MacGregor laments some poor bastard's plight over this considered piece of up-tempo indie pop which echoes the Delgados at their most playful. Smash Hits is a refreshingly pleasant wee tune, sure to go down well at the Fence Homegame in Anstruther on the 15th. Take the Mrs, popcorn is optional. [Dave Kerr]
