Release Notes:
'Bad Decisions', then. Like when that guy had the
opportunity to sign The Beatles and didn't because
he thought they were crap. That was a bad decision.
Russia signing a non-aggression pact with the Nazis
in 1939 that allowed them access to the Baltic
States. Poland thought that was a very bad decision.
Tony Blair joining forces with America to invade
Iraq. Lots of people think that was a bad decision,
too. These examples, however, sound somewhat moot
when you listen to the completely irresistible
jangle and comforting heart-yanking of My Sad
Captains' debut single.
It's so simple that it's probably already been
written, but there's an understated frustration here
that certainly hasn't. For this reason, 'Bad
Decisions' stands up above its roots in C86
revivalism. Its subtle detailing of disillusionment
and dying momentum is lovely, as if Pavement were
actually from Crouch End. The B-side, 'Here and
Elsewhere', is also rather special, with jarring
juxtapositions of woodblock and watery guitars doing
more than enough to sweetly make us swoon. But go
back to the A-side and catch up on what should be
the premium indie dancefloor draw for this summer
