MP3: Plans and Apologies - Me Too
(Derby/ Nottingham, 2:58 mins, 192 kbps, 4.3MB)

Indie-pop has never been about big rumbling and bombastic speeches: it’s meant to be underproduced, fresh and unintimidated. Plans and Apologies succeed in this, and go on to make fantastic plans, but never follow them through (after tripping over their own expectations, and then saying sorry). These sort of tales of regret, and trying really damned hard are balanced out by lyrical charm, an intensity, and flash of pandemonium from the nigh on orchestral 6 indie piece (and that’s saying something). I spy a Glockenspiel (15 points) and uw-wu-uw-wo-uw (1:16) - there’s a lot to see and hear here.
