Being from Glasgow and a self-proclaimed “art school punk band” rendered the chances of Postcard Records and the self-effacing ‘Sound of Young Scotland’ getting a mention as a fairly safe bet, but, representing something of a missing link between the deranged neo-pop of Orange Juice and the majestic austerity of Josef K, this is a far from inappropriate association to draw to Correcto.
‘Joni’, though, is far from a derivative reiteration from the makeshift quartet and is just as indebted to The Wedding Present’s David Gedge’s dreary melancholy, writhing with the same reserved bemusement as lynchpin Danny Saunders declares his undying love with the deadpan absurd exclamation that “I would eat a fish eye, to have you by my side”.
The sort of infectious pop song where choruses and verses confuse into one, ‘Joni’’s retiring pop brilliance is difficult not to appreciate.
Shame the vocals
are so shit live. Not just bad, but out of tune too. Ian Brown would be proud.
i saw them
on saturday and didnt notice anything untoward...
I really can't believe
this song got anything more than a 2. Completely unimaginative, straightforward indie.
terrible band
