Oppenheimer – Look Up (single on Fantastic Plastic)

At long last! Something new from Belfast’s bestest electropopsters! Quick, everyone gather round and adore this band! If you like synths and perfect pop songs, you will love this. No really, you bloody well will.

Since the self titled debut album was a collection of songs stretching back over ten years or so (you can’t even tell that when listening to it though, for it all fits together perfectly), imagine the excitement of an entire new single coming out. Better still, it’s on limited edition white vinyl. Oh yes!

And it’s good! And so catchy! I love it! Can’t even think of anything to compare it to, it just sounds like Oppenheimer. In a brilliant way. If you’re still looking for the summer … okay, a suitable soundtrack for the summer that is unlikely to happen, you must! Must! Must! Buy this!

The B-Side (The Never Never) starts off a bit weirdly, in a semi-Muse kind of way. That is a bit of a downer indeed, at least for the first 40 seconds (and yes, I have checked this). Then it’s back to the nice vocodery bits.
