Dat bass tone. DFA1979’s comeback single opens with menace underpinning their signature sound. It feels good. Then it turns to horseshit with falsetto chirp on the chorus. Then there’s a pissweak middle eight. Then weirdly rushed rhyming couplets. Sebastian Grangier used to punish the shit out of every cymbal in the kit. Here it sounds like he forgets they exist. There’s a bridge that sounds like a snippet of Justice.
