Gospel Music “Apartment”
While his band, brief late ’00′s indie-pop sensation Black Kids, continue work on their forthcoming sophomore effort (one we’ll be looking forward too, especially if it contains anything as bopping-alone-at-home friendly as “big hit” “I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance With You” or the woefully under-appreciated follow-up “Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)”), bassist Owen Holmes has kept himself even more busy by splintering back off into solo side-project Gospel Music, an act that can currently be found on tour in support of its October-released debut LP How To Get To Heaven From Jacksonville, FL.
The album’s second single “Apartment” is being tossed out for free download and it’s a lovely lil’ freebie, serving pleasant ’90′s college rock guitar jangle and Holmes’ comically-deep baritone playing opposite the girlishly twee lead vocals of singer Madeline Long in the roles of two ex-lovers getting back together for the ninth, no tenth time (but “who’s counting?”).
However, to save themselves the embarrassment of having to deal with the judging eyes of their respective friends, this latest, likely temporary, reunion will be kept strictly indoors, or more specifically Long’s apartment, where the drinks are cheap, she’ll play his barkeep (awww!!!) and clothes aren’t a requirement (awww sooky sooky now!!).
