Calling All Astronauts - Someone Like You
Which one of us doesn't know the feeling one gets when listening to a song for the very first time and then suddenly... WOW(!), I need to listen to this one again! It's the feeling I got while listening to the brand-new single "Someone Like You" by Calling All Astronauts. This trio from Western London, consisting of JJ Browning, David B and Kristi Bury, definitely has produced a hit there.
The single "Someone Like You" is kept in an old-school sound, but also intends to transfer a socio-political message. The song has drilled itself into my brain, where it stayed for days. I played it over and over again, so that my room-mates also know it by heart by now, I suppose.
"I don't wanna be..., I will never be..., I don't wanna be someone like you!", is the gist of this single, reminiscent of early goth rock, where the punk influences were strongly audible.
I would definitely give the single "Someone Like You" a high rating, but over the rest of the CD I am quite disappointed: Only three remixes of "Someone Like You" (to which people maybe wouldn't listen any more after some time), at least a second song, a typical B-side, I would have expected. However, this one track we have gotten so far makes me curious about the Calling All Astronauts' début-album A Post Modern Conspiracy.
Tracklist:
01. Single Mix
02. Guitars at 11 Mix
03. Goth & Bass Mix
04. Now That’s Not What I Call Electro Mix
