Savage Garden is one of the closing theme's for Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Its such an odd fit, but I love it. Shake It makes me think I need to actually check out Pablo's music. I really love their verse.
never thought this would be the thread for this debate lol having said that: Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Pavement, Silver Jews??
I just think those are essential 90s material is all! 90s to me is the push and pull between bands cleaning themselves up and making their most beautiful music (eg The Flaming Lips with The Soft Bulletin, Fugazi even) and other bands staying as messy, dirty and lo-fi as possible (Modest Mouse on the first two, pretty much all of Silver Jews and Pavement's output in the 90s)
I liked the vast majority of this album, but ngl: When 'Shake It' started I kept wondering "When is the song going to start?" It never did.
She was clearly the best part of the track, but the lack of chords, riffs, melodies, or any other musical hallmarks besides percussion remained frustrating. Also idk why Charli repeats the same thing over and over with increasingly uncomfortable modulatiors and reverbs for the entire first minute of the song.
The beat on Shake It could go harder but I think I like how reserved it is. It feels like it lets the artists shine a lot more.
cos uhhh Charli just does whatever the hell she wants? you really think someone pressured her into making the song the way it is? lmao hard to imagine the label going 'hmm good song Charli but we think it'd be a hit if you took out most of the drums and applied increasingly esoteric effects to your voice as you repeat this hook'
