For all the kind words bestowed on Giant Drag, their music hasn't quite matched all the hullabaloo of the hype machine to date.

Hearts And Unicorns isn't a bad record as long players go, but when its creators are mentioned in the same breath - let alone sentence - as the likes of My Bloody Valentine, PJ Harvey and the Pixies, one would (quite rightly) expect nothing short of breathtaking, groundbreaking magic.

Sadly, this isn't it. Sure, Annie Hardy can make even the most unimaginative of lyrics sound erotic and dirty - and at the start of the third track on this single, 'Pretty Little Neighbor', she informs us she's feeling "sooooo hor-ny..." - but there isn't that much more going on here really than on a Tanya Donelly inspired b-side. In other words, close, but definitely no king sized Cuban worth writing home about.

But

she is amazingly fit.

shes great.

but she looks like a wrong'un.

which may be part of the reason i think shes great...hmm.

Sorry but

this is a great song. One of the best pop records of late and jesus has it been a bad year for pop.

^ Truth

I love this song. It's not groundbreaking but that doesn't stop it being a great little pop ditty. The simplicity of it is brilliant.

Hmmm

I dunno. Maybe I'm expecting too much after seeing them compared to some of my all time favourite artists? 'Kevin Is Gay' was awesome though.

Pretty good, but not as strong as...

...Kevin is Gay, which is...well you've all heard it so you already know.

It's the chorus that bugs me. It's too damn OC. I was sooo hoping it was going to be a rip on the Strokes. No such luck. But it's worth listening to if only for her torturing that poor guitar with what sounds like a violin bow (might be a cello bow--can anybody tell?). More of that, please.

Kevin is gay is an ace song

How can Kevin be gay...
