As Mancunian as red brick buildings and cheap bitter, Help Stamp Out Loneliness could well be MCR’s best kept secret. Their day dreamy music(complete with Smiths-esque bass lines) are the perfect platform for D. Lucille Campbell’s icy Nico-light vocal. They are a more metallic, more urban Long Blondes.
‘I'm on fire’ could get the Fonz hot under the collar, with its sexy back beat and ice queen vocal and naughty-but-tasteful lyrics. A perfect track for seducing a nice robot.
‘pacific trash vortex’ is a more full on attack. It could be a swayey, synth pop Smiths.
Intriguing, familiar and unique, Help Stamp Out Loneliness are definitely ones to watch. “oh you silly thing/take my heart away”. I couldn’t agree more.
