Wow! "The Misbegotten" is The Charlatans' new single from their 10th studio album You Cross My Path. It begins with some trippy and very danceable beats, breaching the gap between dance, indie and rock nicely. It'll please the baggy trousered teenage reprobate as much as the 35-year old father of two who wants to remember his student days and the heady memories of the early nineties.
'Could you be the last? You should have been the first. You play me as you threw me.' This song is like the early days of a relationship and you're still trying to work out who the other person is – and if there's any way you could possibly mingle your beloved Damned LPs in amid their Take That singles and Daily Mail freebie CDs, that are just so easily thrown in the bin by accident. Or is it just me? This song really does conjure up the innocence of the baggy trouser grunge era, mainly because this was when I was a teenager and fings were so much better in them days. But it sounds like it could be good news for the Charlatans, who should be preparing themselves for a successful summer with a song that has the definite smell of success.
