On new single, and taster for the new album Life Is Sweet, The Lodger prove that their quintessentially English take on indie pop was no flash in the pan with last years Grown Ups album.The Gold Old Days is oh so good. Really it is. I can't describe how it's infectiousness makes me feel or how those jangling, pulsating sounds from the lap steel guitar just make me want to get up and dance at the home, in the street or at the popshow! The lyrics are simple but impressive none the less and the song could easily be The Lodgers "Girl Afraid".
It's backed with a remix by The Slips which still manages to get the feet tapping despite the energy of the originals jangle pop beat going missing. But to be honest with you it is the a-side we are interested in and the remix becomes swiftly irrelevant.
The Good Old Days is out on Bad Sneakers on 5th May 2008 on 7" and digital formats. It''s followed by the album Life Is Sweet on 19th May 2008.
