It Took Seconds

Three minutes and forty-five seconds: Turn of the 00s teenpop, heavy on the stereo panning but effective with it - those flutterbeats, so typical of the era, are suddenly tense and riled up, shifting weight from channel to channel like a boxer bouncing on his heels. If they’re ALL you listen to “He Loves U Not” sounds weirder than it is, that’s some Mouse On Mars style programming there. But Dream were pop, and so really it’s all about the song. The voices aren’t anything super-special but they’re direct and cagey at once, a kind of blank wall which suits the track’s cold defensiveness.
