White Denim Fits (Full Time Hobby)

Where am I and what in God’s name is happening? These are the thoughts that swim wildly around your mind by the time Fits has reached its third song, ‘Say What You Want’. The song starts with a riff that’s dirtier than sewer rat on crack before a stomping drum beat catches up and pulsates the song forwards in some sort of crazed voodoo groove. That’s all well and good. But when the song breaks down into a sweet, bluesy arpeggio before giving way to a fidgety sitar pinnacle with the drums sounding like they’re collapsing around you, you start to wonder how the fuck is this so enjoyable?

This is typical of White Denim’s second album and with this wide eyed, almost freakish, sense of enjoyment, it’s also probably time to realise that attempting to analyse the chaos is pointless and just getting swept up in the beautiful racket is far more enjoyable.
