Lethal Bizzle - Police On My Back / Selfridges Girl Not On Myspace

No one would have guessed that Against All Oddz was paving the way for this Franken-single to rear its ugly head. The bastardized fruits of working alongside indie pop bands like Babyshambles are most evident in Police On My Back, where the pacy, farcical monologue is rammed between two guitar-based refrains with shameless pantomime timing. Selfridges Girl Not on Myspace nods to the more juddering Bloc Party end of the indie scene, corresponding slightly better with two-step riddims. An unfortunate explosion from the musical laboratory.
