Martin Creed

You know that artist who won the Turner Prize in 2001 for a piece of work which was simply the lights of an empty gallery space turning on and off?
Well it turns out he makes music too!
This song was recorded a few years ago but reminds me of the recent Dirty Projectors collaboration with David Byrne which I posted a while back, especially in the chorus.


You might also want to check out his extremely well catalogued website or him talking about the track and how it links to his work.

Really poor, no?

I disagree, hence the posting!

You probably just hate the Glaswegian accent as you dislike all things Scottish!
But seriously though, I just like the way all the parts lock together.
Really mathematical, more than most music.
As for the lights turning on and off in a room, not sure about that.
