Having watched this band on Jools Holland's Later, I'm in the stage of repeatedly viewing it. Its driving electronic rythym is a classic one. But then electro almost out of instinct, has lent itself to travelling associations from Kraftwerk and Moroder onwards. So once it kicks in, this moves along at an unrelenting pace. That pushing moment of the chugging opening up, in a club you'd instantly be up and dancing, spontaneously. Fat Dog have recently released their debut album WOOF. I've listened to a few tracks and so far All The Same, has the feel of being a complete one off.
Lyrically the song is vague to the point of ellipticism. What is it about? I'd take a shot at some sort of abuse. But don"t quote me on that. The sax and guitar break bring in a chord sequence suggestive of eastern exoticism. So when the rythym returns its embellished with a still deeper countering grind.
Its structure is simple, a couple of verse chorus repeats with an instrumental rythym break and then its done. So this track, gladly does not overstay its welcome. Three minutes seven seconds, the exact length to leave you wanting for more. If you do want more, then good god there are plenty remixes already out there.
Enjoy the addiction for a fleeting moment. And then.....something else will come along. That's what pop music was made for.
