Meet Dananananaykroyd. A ridiculously good Glaswegian six-piece with a ridiculously great name. 'Some Dresses' is the second single released by the punk party collective, and a bloody impressive one at that.
Abstract in structure and shambolically great, this could be two songs in one - a hypersonic and glorious track that is fundamentally punk-sounding, with pretty uncharacteristically clean production values. The second this song starts a smile spreads across your face almost uncontrollably, and Dananananaykroyd have won your heart. A cleverly placed breakdown midway through leads on to a thunderous and majestic surge of enthusiastic post rock, tailing off to an extended fade out.
'Some Dresses' is backed by 'Genuine lbs', which in comparison sounds a little less adventurous but wonderful in its own right. A more mainstream and structured power anthem with a driving rhythm and military precision, it shows that this band are not just a one trick pony.
Formed from the ashes of several other bands, Dananananakroyd sound like an amalgamation of infulences and visions. 'Some Dresses' is reminiscent of the finer points of At The Drive-In, whilst 'Genuine lbs' could be a product of the hidden melodic side of The Fall. This is the sound of a young band, drawing from their various musical backgrounds and knowledge and making music you can have a lot of fun with.
