Sea Girls, "What For"
"What For" was also the title of a 1988 single by James, and this song reminds me a LOT of British indie rock from that era. I think it's the combination of the quirky lyrics ("I could take off all my clothes/ Lay down bare in the snow/ What for?"), the percussive electronics, and the jangling guitars. But interestingly, this oh-so-1988 song also fits in perfectly with the current crop of 2018 UK indie rockers. In fact, one of my favorite bits, the barked "Hey!" in the chorus, feels very now.
