Theme Park – Milk // Song Of The Day #247

Summer’s gone then, has it? That was suitably brief.

Even if that is all the sun we get this year, I suspect it won’t affect Theme Park. Here is a London band who sound very much like they are from some impossibly idyllic American coastal town – but not in an irritating, Drums-esque way. More in a ‘young David Byrne meets Blaine Harrison’ way.

‘Milk’ is at once horribly catchy and actually quite disturbing: “Maybe one day we’ll come home to a burning city / And we’ll watch the smoke in silence against a darkened sky,” they sing. And somehow, Theme Park manage to make that sound like great fun.
