Allo Darlin'
Darren 7"
Self-Released

Rating: 7 golden arms out of 10
I have a well established love of British music where you can hear the accents when they sing. I've also got a well established love of twee music. So Allo Darlin' fall right into my sweet spot. This self-released seven inch is fantastic, both sides. Side A, "Darren", is apparently about the singer of Hefner Darren Hayman. It opens up with furious hand-clapping and is catchy as hell. Side B is apparently an old song actually written by Hayman called "Wu Tang Clan". It might be about the iconic hip hop group, but not surprisingly it sounds nothing like them. It's about as white a song as you could ever come up with about rappers, and it's quite good. I'd be curious if any of them have heard the song, and their reactions.
