Currently wide awake at 1am in a Lisbon hotel room with a song in my head that I heard two nights ago. Can't find the name of it anywhere so will ask the STW Hive!
I think its a 2013/2014 song, but am not 100% sure.
The only thing I that I can remember is the haunting electronic organ/keyboard chords played in the chorus.
Sounds a bit like Blackpool style wurlitzer but playing a 9 or so not riff that then drops an octave and repeats.
I need a name for this ear worm that has invaded my head.
😉
Could be "the look" (think that's what it's called) by metronomy
Got it in one! Thanks!
Sorry for the delay in reply...was travelling and then back at work.
STW does it again.
Bloody hell, well done Shazamomagic! 😯
😀
I have now listened to a few more of their tracks and fear that this might be their one hit...any other suggestions for equally enchanting music (from this or other groups in a similar style). 🙂
We broke free and everything goes my way were ok on that album.
I'm listening to Everything everything a lot lately.
just listening on spotify now. Everything goes my way is OK. Will resist skipping to the tracks you suggest! Ta. [edit] oops, realised that I had already heard em both....good background music, but not memorable in the main.
Never much good at the 'if you like that you'll like this' game, and I only know Metronomy from the songs I hear on 6Music, so I'm struggling, rather.
I could recommend a whole load of recent tracks I've tagged via Shazam and BBC Playlister, and you can check them out if you like; I tend to buy a lot of individual tracks that way, only buying whole albums when certain of the consistency.
There will be quite a variation, I like quite a wide variation in styles.
