Spearmint - Psycho Magnet

We've all been there - relentlessly pursued by someone who just won't take no for an answer. You know, the one who's had your life meticulously mapped out since that first drunken kiss? Well, with the release of Psycho Magnet, Spearmint have decided to document the discomfort of this suffocating experience. Delving into the stylishly produced world of Hard-Fi, it's a swooping, synth-led track that peers at you from your stereo like a lovelorn Bernard Sumner. Never quite meriting a restraining order, this infectious portion of brooding pop has the potential to be as obsessive as any ex-lover. [Billy Hamilton]
