What's The Story?
Kaiser Chiefs are a British indie rock band who have achieved chart-topping success overseas with Ruby, a song you have almost definitely heard. That's track one on their album Yours Truly, Angry Mob; this is track two.
Who's To Blame?
One half of the robot-minion duo from Reboot.
Why ♥ It?
This song sounds like England to me, but I've never been there. Pick the bones out of that.
The structure is great; verse-bridge-verse-bridge-chorus & etc., with a nice variation for the outro that's worth the two minutes if just for the tambourine.
The lyrics sound like an angry mob; the music sounds like a reasonably funloving mob.
The bass in the bridge (0:46 for an example) is a figment of the disco-inspired kick I've found myself mired in lately, while the keys in the chorus (1:33 for an example) drive pleasantly like something either classical or modern, but not in between.
In 20 years, the Chiefs will probably (& unfortunately) be remembered as a one-trick pony, but this song alone illustrates a library of them.
