It would be all too easy to dismiss this single release as being fitting of its title, but that would be rather harsh. A post-punk infused indie tune with a nice melody, it features some stabbing retro synths and a self-deprecating lyrical bent that avoids wallowing by virtue of its inverting twist ‘if in your eyes I’m so worthless / then in your eyes what does that make you?’ Boiled down, it’s the kind of wistful indie pop typical of The Cure circa 85-87, and is reminiscent of ‘Just Like Heaven.’ And that’s no bad thing.
