Bricolage - Footsteps

There are two things you should probably know before dropping the needle on Brilocage's Footsteps. Firstly, that's not Edwyn Collins doing his thing on there. You're going to think it is, such is the accuracy of Wallace Meek's portrayal of his older, wiser, fellow countryman, but it's not. Secondly, Meek isn't instead backed by Collins' old cohorts, Orange Juice, minus their esteemed frontman. Again, you're going to think it is, given the oh-so-bold similarities to OJ's jingling, jangling pop, but it's not. So, with that cleared up, what of the track itself? Well, there's not much else to say really, and therein lies the problem. [Paul Neeson]
