Do you like music that's really really twinkly? If the answer is yes then this new single from Town Of Saints will probably get your stamp of approval. The band rely heavily on live shows, cramming as many into each year as possible. With songs like 'Carousel', taken from their new album 'Something To Fight With', it's no wonder. This sort of stuff will go down well with a crowd, so perhaps the video featuring festival performances is just perfect to watch whilst giving the tune a spin. It may also bring back some memories of those summer festivals that have just ended.
Many bands who rely heavily on the festival circuit can have a bit in common with The Levellers, or more recently Mumford and Sons. So while 'Carousel' is part indiepop it does bring out the fiddles and starts to stray into the well-worn festival cliché style at times. Perfect for a family slot in the afternoon. The Dutch/Finnish collective don't quite go that far though, and while they may do better by totally avoiding what the crusty masses lap up, it doesn't really do too much harm as the song is good. Plus it's full of twinkles, and twinkles are great, right?
