Now this is the kind of music that suits Lykke Li so much better than her more recent power ballads (I'm not including anything that she's done with David Lynch in that criticism - David Lynch is beyond reproach). This track, Gunshot, is still kind of a power ballad but it's got more of an 80s bass to it rather than the contemporary 'whomp the bass to eleven and heavy on the kettle drums'. I particularly like the synth on the chorus. I'd compare it ever so slightly to the Eurythmics around '85 but only in very small parts. Lykke Li doesn't do retro for retro's sake thankfully so this track has her mark all the way through it.
Paul Thomas Saunders is a well-respected producer and musician and Brighton-based too, I see. Now that's really cool! His own album released earlier this year is well worth checking out too.
