Hope

For all 2009 and perhaps 08, the world has awaited the birth of a song which wasn’t interested in outsynthing its peers, for a song which at the very least bordered on being honest if being sensible is too much to ask. Many of us were pretty much ready to resign to Option 1 of never updating existing playlists or Option 2 of updating it, and enduring abuse from songs that spin butcher knives in your brain and/or kick you into some awkward dance(involuntarily). Just as I was signing up for Option 1 i.e. I Am So Fucking Sick Of Electronica, Voxtrot came back to save us all, just like a dream. At an age where lyrics have taken the backseat, letting drum machines drive instead, Ramesh has stuck by his pen through and through, delivering verses and choruses that will charm even the most reluctant romantics. Voxtrot is, hands down, the best thing that has ever come out of Texas. Slightly unfashionable, completely endearing.
