Clubfeet's "Everything You Wanted" is one catchy pop single

Again, a band has slipped right from under my nose but maybe it's because I don't live in their home country of Australia. I really just heard one of their songs "Heartbreak" a few months back and thought they were decent hipster pop.  But then came their new extra catchy single and video "Everything You Wanted" and I suddenly wanted to hear more. 

Is "Everything You Wanted" a great song? Probably not. But those don't come around that often. What it does accomplish is create a nice balance between lyrics and synth driven melody.   Anytime I have a chorus stuck in my head hours later, I know the song did it's job.  It caught me. The clever video doesn't hurt you in remembering them.


"Heartbreak" was the first track I heard from these guys.   The song might be a little too sweet for my taste but it's still a solid pop song.  Better than most of the things you are forced to listen to on the radio.  I just really think that "Everything You Wanted" is the song the band should use for their introduction.  The video is seriously subpar though.  Not sure I need to see hipsters with flares running around with pants that I know must cut off circulation.  Good to know the hipster virus has spread overseas.
