Things that have surprised us in life include the following:1. Bruce Willis being dead all theway through The Sixth Sense.
2. The unexpected popping of balloons.
3. No one buying much of Operator Please's music.
If you frequented indie-disco venues approximately two years ago, you will probably be familiar with 'Just A Song About Ping Pong'. An amazing pop-punk song about table tennis (it wasn't - it was about giving blow jobs).
If you dug deeper into this song you will have discovered that it was by Operator Please - a young Australian five-piece who are perhaps the only band to truly make music that is as much 'indie' as it is 'pop'. You will also have discovered that they recorded and released other singles - 'Get What you Want' (shouty amazingness) and 'Leave It Alone' (furious violin-led masterpiece). There was also an album - 'Yes Yes Vindictive'.
They are now back with a second album, 'Gloves', and on the evidence of new single 'Logic', it will be business as usual for Operator Please. This means we expect it to be amazing.
'Logic' is a near perfect slice of punchy, guitar-driven power-pop which will put a snarl on your lip and a spring in your step. This, we freely admit will leave you looking like a complete pillock but that is not our problem.
Here is the video for the song in question. There is little question that lead singer Amandah is a bloody brilliant frontwoman and that this is a very fashionable band.
We love Operator Please and are very excited about the new album. Welcome back you brilliant Australian teenagers, we hope the lack of interest us Brits showed you last time around will not affect your decisions over releasing music in the UK, (regards, RobotPigeon).
