Butcher Boy: "Girls Make Me Sick"


Butcher Boy

Since we heard Butcher Boy's "Days Like These Will Be The Death Of Me" on the How Does it Feel To Be Loved? comp last year, we been dying to hear some more; and now we finally will. The debut full-length from Butcher Boy, Profit In Your Poetry will be released March 5th on the UK label How Does It Feel To Be Loved? Here's the first single from the record. Highly recommended for fans of Felt, The Smiths, and pretty much any other late 80s indiepop.

[MP3]: Butcher Boy :: Girls Make Me Sick (Highly Rec'd!!)
It's a simple enough sentiment. Girls make Butcher Boy's John Hunt sick. I'm sure they make him jump for joy, too, but on this particular occasion, he's not feeling too good about them. Oddly enough, it's hard to grasp this message from the lyrics, because, unless I'm missing something, "it means the world to me to see you fall asleep, to feel your breath against my cheek" doesn't exactly agree with the song's title. Words aside, this song's just great. The bright, Felt-y keyboards and chirping guitar seal the deal for me. Sign me up for the full-length.
