Let Me Show You to the Door

Two luscious songs that tell the same funny story, one as a soliloquy and the other as a two-hander. Briana Corrigan’s vocals in the Beautiful South song practically shove Dave Hemingway’s aside in more ways than one, which is of course fitting. And Jill Birt’s singing in the Triffids song comes off flattened, low-affect, which is of course fitting too.
