shut up and listen

• starts with loop holding chord
• vox enters, chord sequence begins
• bass enters
• vox alternates between
  mod phrasing ‘i understand your body wants it’,
  slow phrasing ‘ride baby, ride baby’,
  fast phrasing ‘with your louis v bag, tatts on your arms’
• breakdown/merge into ‘after party’: fem bv delayed, fades, bass + drums continue, lead vox
• 2nd half: processed funk gtr lick
• bass and drums drop out
• processed bv
• kik returns
• drums return, dub gestures on drums
• pulsing, breathy beat – surging

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. pulsing, breathy beat – surging
2. two versions of the one song (same chords/melody) stitched together

• descending chord pattern for whole song
• elct gtr picking + atmos noise
• pause
• bass, drums, elct gtr, synth + vox (verb, slight EQ)
• chorus: vox doubled + harmonies
• riff thickens toward end of track

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. same chord pattern broken by pauses
2. thicken riff over time

• chirpy gtr solo opening
• bright breezy synth chords (quite a contrast to prev. trk)
• vox enters with strange percussion (firework? bursting balloon?)
• vox is emotive but monotonish – modulating around two or three notes)
• gtr solo returns as verbed out back ground
• bass and drums kick in with chorus
• chorus has harmonised vox
• 2nd verse features extra vox – doubles harmonies call + response
• v 3 backing fades out over time
• chorus: all back in again
• whole track fades out

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. monotone vox over rich chords
2. strange percussion – balloon bursting/fireworks

• siouxsie and the banshees sample – lead gtr loop + vox
• creates a party/crowd feel
• breakdown before merging into ‘glass table girls’
• transition is a funky repeat + pitch drop of vox
• 2nd half is a solo vox over a bass heavy pattern
  all melodic richness is gone
  lots of swearing

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. transition is a funky repeat + pitch drop of vox
2. stitch 2 songs together to make one

• processed vox loop
• lead vox starts with EQ & verb
• last line of chorus vox ends with delay

KEY IDEAS to plunder

1. processed vox loop
2. last line of chorus vox ends with delay
