I'm a big fan of songs that don't overstay their welcome. If you can say all you need to in two minutes 44 seconds (as Guildford four-piece Sissy And The Blisters do here), then I'm all for it. Don't go widdling on for ten minutes about how rubbish your life is unless you're Jason Pierce (see my Spiritualized post from last week) or Bob Dylan. Raucous, garage rock 'n' roll of the highest order, Let Her Go sounds like a lost Clash single fronted by Ian Curtis, intent on battering you around the head before leaving you in a mess on the dance floor at about two minutes 30. Pretty much everything you need from a pop song about having to split up with someone because all you wanted to do is go out and get drunk. It's economy, stupid.
