Hot Hot Heat

Middle Of Nowhere

Label: WEA Release Date: 11/07/2005

dionisio by Rob Webb July 18th, 2005

There's something undeniably infectious about Hot Hot Heat's singles, and this latest offering from 'Elevator' is no exception.

A jangly guitar intro sets the tone before some joyously nonsensical lyrics from poodle haired singer Steve Bays. 'I haven't slept a single night in over a month,' he claims, and with hair like that you can quite believe it.

The purist in me wants to hate this, it could easily soundtrack 'The O.C.', but it's now officially summer and everybody is allowed at least one guilty pleasure...
