Wake The President - Remember Fun

Wake The President's second 7" single Remember Fun ignores the fact that we're closing in on the end of the 2000s and plucks its jangle pop straight from the mid-1980s and its twee magic from the mid-1990s. They hit all the key areas. Infectious melody? Check. Wry and glum lyrics at odds with cheery melody? Check. Catchy wordless refrain? Check. These Glaswegians are signed to Stow College's Electric Honey Records. I'm not going to claim that they're the second coming of a certain Glaswegian band that started off on the same label with legendary style… but it's tempting. [Tobias Kahn]
