Getting Our Groove Back

It feels like ages since I’ve posted, and it is ages: I will creak back into life with an MP3, the title track from the Walker Brothers’ 1976 comeback album Lines. Overripe like the best Walker work, Scott on this track oozes weakness and regret. The mid-70s soft pop arrangement may grate on some (not me tho, I love that stuff) but there’s a welcome hint of the eerie in the backing vocals.
