"I can't understand the mechanics of success, of critic or public, since of all the new records I've bought in the last ten years, this is the one I never stop coming back to, the one who doesn't belong to any fad (be it a mainstream or avant-garde fad,it's the same thing) yet sounds more "modern" than anything else, the one that holds together and is risky as well as listenable, danceable and without a gram of filler, but the fact is I'm the only Jeans Team fan I've ever met. And this is not a typical provintial indie kid rant: I've been to 2 jeans team shows where I was the only one supporting them.
But that has nothing to do with the music, and Ding Dong is beautifully bizarre and everlasting, at first sounds like "my 2 year old brother could do that" but slowly the hard work behind is timidly revealed and...you know I'd love to go to a packed jeans team show and all vibe together to their bizarre stage antics, but well, this way I can have them all to myself.
