Indie/Alternative Side 1. Heading For The DoorSide 2. Heading For The Dub

It's not that 'Heading For The Door' is an ear worm in the truest sense, but the playful hook is certainly up there with the catchiest things we've heard in a while. Set against a high tempo slice of indie pop rock, it's the kind of track that you feel is almost destined for TV airtime through fiction, non-fiction, or advertising. Flip this delightful package over and the dub version takes things into deeper and trippier places, while still somehow managing to maintain a sense of the energy that pervades the original, albeit the iconic melodic motifs feel distant, as do the lyrics, with this interpretation centring more on a rumbling, bouncing bass to see it through to the last. More proof Speedy Wunderground is the most fertile label in guitar music? Certainly.
