Snow Patrol
Label: Riverman
Like a cross between Daft Punk, Add N To [X] and Eiffel 65, Snow Patrol is an instantly accessible "intelligent" dance floor filler with a enduringly shiny pop aesthetic. The robotic vocals compliment a wavering TB303 bassline and extremely distorted one string guitar riff. The Lo-Fidelity Allstars remix pulls the track further towards the Club 18-30 holiday venues of this world with the dirty noises reduced and the vocal obscenely vocodered. Shame the breakdown rips off Orbital’s Are We Here to an embarrassing degree, otherwise it would have been quite original for it’s chosen genre.
