Twilight of the Dogs
…or ‘Beauty and the Beast’. The Mayfair Set, our latest saints, are a potent, poignant combination of Dee Dee Dum Dum Girls and Whoever Blank Dogs Is; marrying the propeller gut dread of the latter with the former’s dawn-sun reach to give first glimpse of something that will grow in the minds of our young, and their young in turn, into something undeniably, eye-stingingly great. Loyal to tragic extents, ‘Already Warm’ flows against the blood’s tide like the swelter of an evening grown distant, but hovering close and ever-ready, for a chance to be reborn in photographs that fade away from their centre, the threat loitering even now as time vignettes the masterworks of your memory. More lost ghosts, then - who was it that fronted Black Tambourine with Pam Berry? Curtis? Or Maus? Dee Dee carries the dog-eared image of him in her wallet like a fatigued sentry, poor girl; poor girl.
The pair’ll feature on a 7″ at some point in the near future to be issued, naturally enough, by the golden gloves of New York’s Captured Tracks.
