19. Feline Wave Race

I don’t know what it is about this song. It’s dreamy, spacey, nostalgic. I feel peaceful when it’s on.

Their new single “Feline Wave Race” takes a similar perspective, its musings on life delivered with a heavy-lidded drawl and a winking sense of humour. Alongside a tip-tapping drum machine and loose acoustic strumming, vocalist Nigel Chapman delivers a quietly devastating series of lines: “Down on a rock planet / With water and trees / Were a hundred million or so / Double barrelling monkeys and / Might be half a billion or so / Types of beetle species / And nobody but me / That’s just like me.”
