Wow, it’s like the second coming of Cajun Dance Party. Again a London-based quintet with an obligatory token girl member, only this time around they’ve managed to graduate from highschool… Although on closer inspection it appears as if this second coming of Cajun Dance Party actually released their debut single before the first coming did, and in fact, they probably arrived far earlier than CDP altogether, but for whatever reason I completely missed it, and am only just discovering them now. So I guess that means they’re back to being plain old Captain then. Who, by the way, are my latest obsession.
They’ve been circulating a six-track sampler of their upcoming sophomore album, Distraction, and I’ve become fairly addicted to it. Captain’s sound, described on some blog somewhere as, “obscenely catchy,” comes out very nicely in one of the feature tracks, Safe Harbour, which pretty much haunts my dreams with its tenacious hooks. Apparently the release of Distraction has been pushed back from early-August to the 15th September by EMI, who seem fairly disinterested in promoting it thus far, because, shit, why waste your time on Captain when you have Katy Perry (and Chingy)?
The lead single from Distraction, Keep An Open Mind, was released earlier this year, and it apparently withered and died the moment Topshop decided to adopt it. But seeing as there is very little Topshop in my life, it’s yet to wither and die in the chambers of my unashamedly-catchy-indie/pop-adoring heart, so here it is:
You can download another track, Animal, free from their Myspace page now.
