...snappy, melodic tune, made catchier by the sound, which promoters have already dubbed "newstalgia." That, says Composer Stevens, is "a bit of a revolting phrase," but accurate nonetheless. The band helps project the same image by dressing up in old-timey clothes ("early bad taste") and lolling around the stage like lazy good-for-nothing aristocrats.
