Never Enough Notes e-zine // reviews + interviews + music

Sunny, poppy indie artists Milk Maid have released a follow up single to Not Me with Dead Wrong which also comes from their debut album Yucca.

Admittedly I haven’t got much more to say about Milk Maid that I haven’t said before [likewise I probably can't express how much love I have for these guys and former Nine Black Alps bassist Martin Cohen either] but well these guys are quite simply – in the words a certain semi-misquoted wrestler- that damn good.

With an upbeat, heavily retro sound with dark undertones, Dead Wrong  highlights Milk Maids talent for mixing dark subject matter and pop music in a brilliantly catchy form. While not as immediate a hit as Not Me, Dead Wrong in its own way is a perky little number.

B-side I Know meanwhile is a fuzzy, distorted and fast paced track which sounds almost Beck like in terms of its guitar style and vocals. Contrasting beautifully with Dead Wrong, I Know is as a track that is more attention grabbing with it being a happier and more danceable track.

Nonetheless… both tracks do make you think of a better time and a warmer climate. Which, with winter fast approaching, can only be a good thing.
