It shouldn't work. It shouldn't. But it does. Keyboard, yes. Drum machine, ok then. American guy, he can get away with it. Acoustic guitar? Surely it has too much warmth, less Eighties Manchester and more nineties Omaha? True. But somehow it manages to fit in the same frozen emotional clout, the same tricky minimalism. And although it's not the original - nothing can beat that - it stands up as a song that, rather than copying, twists it self into an entirely new beast.
8.5/10
