The Vincent Black Shadow – Metro

• 19th Apr 2007

Capture all the current, feisty femme pizzazz of The Gossip, The Long Blondes, The 5678s and The Pipettes in a net. Then add a cheeky lyrical nod and wink towards The Verve and you too, could make your own The Vincent Black Shadow song. Hurried vocal projection courtesy of the vixen of all vixens, Cassandra Ford speaks of fear and uncovers a seedy character. However, the catchy nature of it, coupled with funky bass and rattling percussion provides a carefree vibe, for pure parody. Pop, is suddenly getting spicy again.
