Intuitive melodies, steam-driven rhythms and bracing
guitars provide the bedrock of The Dykeenies sound. Add to
that the plaintive, broken-but-not-bowed croon of Brian
Henderson and you have all the ingredients for the
intoxicating, aural love potion that is 'New Ideas'.
Originally available through King Tuts' Recordings in
summer 2006, this track now receives a full-commercial
release. And a good thing it is too for The Dykeenies, as
this song deserves the widest possible audience. Three
minutes of streamlined pop-punk with added panache, 'New
Ideas' opens in a barrage of vigorous guitar and enthused
handclaps. The pace builds determinedly before exploding
into the sumo-sized chorus; naysayers trampled underneath
cascading guitar and fevered rhythms.
Lyrically fragmented and impressionistic, the pervading
mood - defiance spiked by doubt - is conveyed as much by
Henderson's warm brogue as the words. Most impressively
there is not the slightest surfeit of sound here: a
size-zero trim tune, 'New Ideas' gallops gazelle-like
towards its brash call-and-response finale. A seductively
sweet knock-out.
