We say
2008 Staff Picks: RotD of the Year: If the mark of a great single is to bear up to repeated listens and to still manage to sound fresh after 12 months, then Time To Pretend is a great single."This space-rock gem mocks the clichéd coke-and-hookers rock-star lifestyle, over big synth whooshes." wrote Rolling Stone at the time we first featured this in January 08. The melodic hook is a work of genius. When that's what actually gets sung by the crowd at their live shows proves it to be a very special song indeed. This deservedly also got voted track of the year by CMU Daily, Observer Music Monthly and Sunday Times, among others. JF/JBContact
