Oh boy! We've got another new track from Dany Laj And The Looks! And it's a dandy! "Tell It To You" is the second single off the band's album If Looks Could Kill, which will be out September 18th on Toronto's Having Fun Records. I like this track because it adds some really cool layers to the usual pop-rock approach. It starts off a little laidback before really hitting its stride in the chorus. Dany has some really interesting things going on with his guitar tone on this record. I love the way his guitar and Jeanette's bass bob and weave around each other in such a striking way. The song comments on one of the worst aspects of modern life — the way public discourse is dominated by supposed truths that are anything but. A lesser songwriter may have been too heavy-handed with the topic. But this song takes a more subtle and human approach, holding off on the snark until the final verse, and even then its comes off as perfectly good-natured. How is it that we're knee-deep in the Information Age and people are more prone than ever to believing the dumbest things? The "three chords and the truth" approach to music has never been vital, and "Tell It To You" is exactly what the doctor ordered. When that chorus hits, it hits hard. Based on the singles that have been released so far, I can't help but be excited about If Looks Could Kill coming out next month — one day before NHL preseason starts! Let's go!
