In the abrupt style we have come to know and love, “Heartbeat Song” steals your attention as soon as you hit play. The Futureheads latest offering sees the quartet doing what they do best ; combining their fast paced post punk style with energetic vocals and a tune that will stick with you like the memory of your first snakebite - without the vomit inducing taste in your mouth.
Lead vocalist Hyde hardly takes a breath as he relays his tale of infatuation and lust, pushing the lovey dovey stuff aside and proving that they’re still that little bit too cool to be churning out songs about “the one”. With catchy hooks such as “Your heartbeat song, it’s good but it’s not the one. We’re singing out of tune but I still want to sing with you”, reverberating off of the walls, this one is best played loud, much like their previous accomplishments, "Hounds of Love" and "Decent Days and Nights".
It was just over 6 years ago that the music world decided to sit up and listen, with The Futureheads supporting the likes of Oasis and Foo Fighters. With their upcoming album “Chaos” being their fourth record, if there’s any justice we’ll be hearing a lot more from The Futureheads this time round, with “Heartbeat Song” being the perfect starting block.
Released on the 12th April, with the album coming out on the 26th, it seems as though they're definitely one to keep your eyes and more importantly your ears open for.
