Chasing After You
Subculture

With none of its eccentricity and quirk, ‘Chasing After You’ is a surprising follow-up to ‘Pat Butcher’. What it does have, however, is harder to achieve. It’s a centre-ground, everyman trancer that excels in a far more congested and contested field. Arrangement, production, sub-riffs, mainline, vocal, lyrics and so on — it doesn’t settle for sufficiency once. Instead, in every viable respect, it delivers bigger and better — outclassing everything else this month.
