We say
Musically upbeat but lyrically sinister as the record progresses, Passenger's next single, taken from their forthcoming debut album, Wicked Man's Rest, is an infectious and superbly-crafted piece of pop. Mike Rosenberg's wistful vocal fits in perfectly with the creepier lyrical sentiments, but it's the brilliant in-character writing that makes it a winner for us. Recent sessions with Janice Long and Dermot O'Leary on R2 indicate the audience which this is aimed at, but this track in particular deserves a wider airing. Coverage of Passenger's non-traditional deal with Ingenious Media appeared in last month's Q: read it here. JF London gig: 15 August, Water Rats WC1
