MINT ROYALE: DON'T FALTER

MINT ROYALE: DON'T FALTER
Ask me on a day when the sun is out and I'll probably say this is the best love song of the decade so far, the biggest up in the very up-and-down career of Mint Royale (i.e. Shake Me: good. Rock'n'Roll Bar: bad. Show Me: very good. Sexiest Man In Jamaica: bad) and still the only real impact Lauren Laverne had, musically, since announcing the end of her band with the delightfully whimsical exclamation "We were Kenickie... a bunch of fuckwits!". Make another record soon, Lauren!
