Dancer Vs Politician - Justin Fairborn

Single Review by Gordon Bruce | 02 Sep 2010
Single title: Justin Fairborn
Artist: Dancer Vs Politician
Label: Mono Music
Release date: 14 Sep

Sun kissed, burnished and saccharine, Dancer Vs Politician want to bring the joyous Sunday mornings of the sixties to your room. Only a few chords permeate Justin Fairborn, a minimal song which wears its allusions to The Velvet Underground and Nico with pride. Ok, so the song can become too sickly sweet and end up sounding like the soundtrack to an awfully twee Orange Mobile advert.

But unlike the sinister underpinnings of such corporate marketing, Sanni Baumgaertner has no ulterior motive. All she wants to do is lull you into hazy relaxation, and if she hadn’t gone too cutesy she would have achieved exactly that. As it stands, expect to hear more from Dancer Vs Politician, all hopefully out with the realms of advertising.
