JOE LEAN AND THE JING JANG JONG - WHERE DO YOU GO


(AU magazine August 2008)

(VERTIGO)

SINGLE REVIEW

Being possessed of a name that sounds like an ITV children's programme circa 1989, it is baffling that 'Where Do You Go' kicks in like a punchy indie hit and rocks out for under three minutes before clearing off, leaving the distinct odour of 3am fags and lager spilt on corduroy. Well, really it doesn't do any of this - it's not one of those new-fangled scratch'n'sniff records - but those things do tell you all you need to know. It's an indie disco-tastic, made-for-live-shows, full-on, boy-baffled-by-girl indie-rock anthem, and it'll be the making of this ragtag bunch of troubadours.
