here's yet another great song/band from 'over the ditch', feast your ears on this wistful, day-dreamy, jangly pop track, Holiday from Adelaide-based garage/fuzz pop trio Hit The Jackpot off their infectious new "Holiday Tape" EP (2011).
"It'd be nice to have some time to go away,
We don't have to go very far,
we could just jump in the car."
Holiday is a wonderfully dead-pan, downer, garage pop anthem for anyone who has had itchy feet or felt the restless, nagging pangs of boredom, the track perfectly captures the notion that anywhere would be better than we you are at that particular moment in time, that desperate need for a change of scenery, of escape from the quotidian! Holiday is filled with super catchy, sardonic, bittersweet lyrics, et what makes them even greater is the sarcastically droll delivery, which is brilliantly heightened by the rambling, shambolic, jangly guitar melody, it totally sounds like when you're sitting alone in your room, bored to death et going a bit stir-crazy, you pick up the guitar et distractedly strum away angstily to pass the time et just possibly to piss off your family or flatmates! enjoy!
"I don't really care what we do /
I just want to hang out with you."
