The Darling Buds: Let’s Go Round There
Ah yes, I remember Blonde. For a genre that was heavily promoted by some and ridiculed by others, it now seems to have been so insignificant, least when I count the number of bands that pin-pricked me with their presence. The Darling Buds hid their sophistication in 1989’s Pop Said… unfortunately only becoming apparent on the two follow-ups – by which time everyone else had moved on.
Let’s Go Round There is blessed with Andrea Lewis’ enticing lyrics and breaks a rule by being one minute too long. Those extra seconds provide opportunity for the song to build to a swirling finale of diving guitar-riffs and circling backing vocals which perfectly echo the title.
