A throwback. But oh so cozy. Early Kinks, à la "You Really Got Me", created a wall of sound with just one instrument. Mmm that fuzzy guitar. Ba na na na na. Ba na na na na. Girl, you've got me so I don't know what I'm doing.
"All Night Stand" is "Got Me"'s Sunday morning hangover. But it's a jubilant hangover, one where each sharp stab of pain is worn like a badge of honor.
Simplicity never sounded so good. The same old chord progression, that derivative 60's hook. It doesn't matter, it just works. Forty seconds in, everybody is in on the fun. Ray is joined by other voices, a piano, some drums. They're in no hurry, nowhere they need to be. But something about the effort just isn't quite effortless, reminding you not to just listen. Ray's been a thousand places, a thousand girls, and he kind of wants you to know it.
