Still Stuck Inside My Dream

I've spent most of this afternoon trying to work out why Tap Tap are currently haunting my every waking moment.

I'm pretty sure it's got something to do with an apparent mastery of melody and soaring-yet-fragile vocals, matched against fall-apart-at-any-moment production and quaint stories about boy and girls and the troubles they cause each other.

It's probably got something to do with the odd lyric that stands out, looks you right in the eye, and tells you all about yourself, whilst confirming you're not actually alone after all.

It may even have something to do with thinking you may have heard it all before, then being proved monumentally wrong, whilst trying to work out quite why this time it's different.

But, I can't work it out. I daresay comparisons are there to be made, but comparisons are lazy, and being lazy is bad. So let's leave that there, shall we? Oh well.

They've released an album called Lanzafame on Catbird Records in Americay, which you can get from here via some kind of hyper postage system. And they're sometime associates of Stolen Recordings over here - She Doesn't Belong To Me can also be found on the outstanding Stolen compilation, which is currently available for a bargain Five English Pounds from here. Buy it all, you pretty pretty things.
