Secong single from Sleepy Jackson's latest
The Sleepy Jackson is largely the musical project of singer and lyricist Luke Steele, accompanied by long-term guitarist Malcolm Clark. 'I Understand...'is the second single to be taken from the second album, 'Personality', which was released to a wealth of critical acclaim.
This song's witty title makes it instantly memorable, and the song itself is largely the same. There is a decidedly retro feel to this song, instantly bringing to mind the Beach Boys jostling for position alongside the 'Revolver' era Beatles, who, incidentally are name checked in relation to the recording of the latest album. A sunny morsel of pop to brighten any horizon on a grey day in late-September, this song deftly carves a place for itself on the shelves, by managing to be both retro and modern with assured ease. I imagine most will agree that this single is a memorable burst of energy deserving of attention.
