Twee Kitten review of "Fine"
by Keith Mclachlan
I ordered this record months ago from the kid's faves Rough Trade, yeah and I am still waiting for it to arrive or at least for a passing acknowledgement that it will never. I actually wrote them a snitty email about the lack of Vel in my mailbox and found myself in their store proper only a few days later. Irony fueled the has and giggles I roared inside while staring at Delia and Joe. We now return to the present. Luckily, for me and the rest of humanity really, Tweekitten exists almost exclusively for the purpose of satisfying our pop needs in the sort of manner that obviously is completely foreign to others. Well, Clair records did send me a valentine with my last order so they might be privy to the same sort of business acumen as Scott TK, but... Anyhow he finally stocked this record and I quickly ordered it and while I expected to love it with a multitude of great passions and devotion I only kinda like it. The packaging is exquisite, Pop Art has their own unique little motif going on with their reliance on the multiple fold brand of cd package architecture so despite this being merely a cd-single it still has a cute gatefold sleeve and a lovely, burning yellow cover. Inside the music is very Saint Etienne-ish, somewhere near the Fox Base Alpha period, back when maybe even Donna Savage (go Dead Famous People!) was still around but it is not all that interesting but then neither were Saint Etienne at that time so I might be a bit redundant here. The music is incidental and the sentiments are warm but I can't find the same level of love in it as the other releases already birthed by Pop Art records. It is nice though, and the packaging's ace. So.
