Hot Club de Paris - Everyeveryeverything/Hello Comrade (I Quit My Job) (Moshi Moshi)

Eccentric Liverpool three-piece Hot Club de Paris produce frenetic, naked pop music that sounds as if it might trip over itself at any moment. The A-side of this single, Everyeveryeverything, is a stop-start ode to their home town, full of gusto and humour, but lacking much substance, a bit like watered-down Biffy Clyro. B-side Hello Comrade (I Quit My Job), a tale of life on the dole, is similarly feisty – employing a breakneck 7/8 drumbeat - but while it's clever and articulate, Hot Club de Paris's incessantly rapid two-note guitars and toneless singing makes for a challenging listen.
