The album was recorded at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles. The band have just completed a short UK tour to promote the album.
With light and breezy vocals which belie the lyrics that are best described by the German word schadenfreude which basically means to take pleasure from your enemy’s misfortune as the protagonist wills his rival to fail in every way. The guitars and back line all are quite upbeat too with just a hint of aggression to make this a very enjoyable song. 7.6/10
