British indie rockers The Manatees have created something infectiously catchy in their new release, Better Way To Think Of It.
By Jane Howkins
Better Way To Think Of It is one of the best songs I’ve heard in recent months – the main chord sequence chosen is catchy in a melancholy way, sounding incredibly bittersweet throughout. The vocals contain a great deal of passion, making you really feel the emotion contained within them. An awesome buzzy synthline runs through the verses, leading into the energy-laden chorus, which has an anthemic singalong quality. The Manatees are definitely headed for the bigtime!
