The Martial Arts - Your Sinclair (2006)

The Martial Arts arrive clutching melodies that are dizzyingly contorted and satisfyingly sweet... 'Don’t Want To Talk' is insistent, rousing and yes – youthful: brimming with young confidence, it takes a melancholy subject matter and spins it into a sweet shanty, Liverpudlian, simple and true. Here is 2’30″ of exemption from age, real life, or any other concerns. The Martial Arts‘ trick is to provide respite from a world addicted to youth by using their nagging, charming songs to pull their listeners right back to the younger days. Like, weird, man.
