I'm all for the variations in the pop genre that exist. Death pop, dream pop, noise pop, baroque pop, power pop, hop on pop... Okay, the last one was to make sure you were still paying attention. Today we delve into noir pop courtesy of Hollywood's triad that is 8mm. What makes a song noir pop? I haven't the slightest; Wikipedia is no help right now. But you've got guitars, smokey vocals from lead Juliette Beavan, and a slightly-slowed tempo.
"Around the Sun" should have been featured much earlier in the month, but don't give me guff about changing the line-up too much. What happened to living with no regrets? But back to the music: 8mm gives us something nice here. You may not think the electric guitar can be calming, but this time it is. The lyrics remind us to just keep moving 'round the sun til we move on, and you realize that they are right. Let's just keep going, may it be through the queue or through the day. End of story. Or rather, end of rambling.
