The Blow: Eat Your Heart Up
“But what does it sound like?” asked one comment on Stylus Magazine’s review of Sally Shapiro’s Disco Romance. Tracks of the Day are sometimes irritating because I feel obliged to tell you what a track sounds like. I’d rather you just go and listen to the track, perhaps the 30s snippet on iTunes. Or perhaps you could trust my judgement and buy the track. Eat Your Heart Up is taken from The Blow’s third album, Paper Television. It sounds like this: take Squarepusher’s Tom Jenkinson and ply him with much alcohol. Then, when he’s swaggering sufficiently, throw him into a music store and force him to write pop songs with Suzanne Vega, but without using his jazz influences.
