Grafton Primary – ‘Relativity’ (mp3)

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 6 or above) is required to play this audio clip. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Grafton Primary are brothers Josh and Ben Garden from Sydney. Their previous track ‘Hidden Cycle’ rotated on lots of radio playlists round about last year. They’ve since recorded an album due to be out soon titled 2020 vision. ‘Relativity’ is so 80s in instrumentation, arrangement and lyrics I almost tuned the radio out, until it reached the bizzarely catchy hook of ‘we equal m c squared..’ ??? I can’t explain it but it’s a hook that would have worked twenty, thirty years ago, and thanks to the current music scene’s obsessions with 80s beats and synths is now working today.

This song reminds me of a childhood favourite:

Thomas Dolby – ‘She Blinded Me With Science’

    Whoa, so retro, so cool! How rad are those synth stabs? I was wondering the other day what happened to these guys… I saw an old venue ad which had them listed as playing.

    Love this. Reminded me a little of The Fixx and Ultravox. The 80s was alittle naff lookind back, but ‘modernised’ and ‘doofed’ up alittle it sounds great. The grungy ‘2 guitarists and a drummer’ sound of the 90s was starting to bore me.
