It’s “unmistakably Suede” says Mark Radcliffe when it literally sounds like a Banshees and a Wire track stuck together. Why is anyone impressed by this? Are Colin Newman and the estate of John McGeoch being paid royalties? They bloody well ought to be.

You know Spotify is run by shitheads because I'm willing to bet somewhere in that company they let this happen on purpose just for the bantz, just for a news item where they'd try and look a bit edgy, but I mean they just come off as the least inspiring bunch of cunts you could possibly imagine.
