Track Of The Day- Colourbox - You Keep Me Hangin' On (4AD)


A very good cover of the Supremes classic. Sped and beefed up, with a machine funk backing that gives it depth and adds to the drama. There’s also a choppy guitar riff that still floats into my head from nowhere on any given day. I know nothing about Colourbox, and when I bought this album it was directly as a consequence of them being on 4AD and me wanting to have the set. The bane of the record collector is such. However, the release was a great find and the brains behind the name, Martyn and Steven Young went on to be a part of MIAIRIRIS. Lovely stuff.
