The TenFiveSixty – Do This For Me

• 2nd Jun 2012

Chirpy female vocals and a repetitive drum machine really shouldn’t be this touching.

But somehow The TenFiveSixty have found a magic formula that turns lo-fi, twee indie into an absolute gem of a track.

Whilst on the flipside of the single, the Crocodile remix ramps up the lo-fi technology and turns up the reverb, it is the original, with it’s chiming guitars and precisely vague lyrics, that dazzles as it surely waits to soundtrack an achingly hip movie.

And it is through this line of thinking that I reach my conclusion, that Do This For Me is almost The Temper Trap’s Sweet Disposition.

It doesn’t quite hit the same dizzying heights as the Aussies’ ubiquitous mega-hit, but it ticks enough of the same boxes to be sticking in people’s minds and heading up a number of advertising campaigns real soon.
