Tracklisting
A Come On Let’s Go (3:18)
B Distant Call (3:33)
Third single from The Noise Made By People, and some would argue the one they should have led with, being a near-perfect slice of Euro-influenced pop. And by that I mean the Left Bank, gauloises and Jean-Luc Godard-style cool French Pop, not Ace of Base. A bit like Stereolab then, you might be thinking. And you would be right.
You know who to turn to
Now everything's changed
Come on let's go
Stop looking for answers
In everyone's face
Come on let's go
What's the point in wasting time
On people that you'll never know
Come on let's go
Much more upbeat than Echo's Answer, and less weird and icy-cool, lyrically, as you can see from the chorus above. This is still stylistically similar to the material collected on Work and Non Work, and closest probably to The Book Lovers.
The B-side is an odd one though. Very bass-heavy, both with bass-guitar playing and Trish Keenan's vocal delivery, which is lower than usual, and sounding more than a little like Nico. It wafts along quite nicely for B-side material, and has one of those instrumental codas that Broadcast are quite fond of, this one taking up the whole last third, introducing some nice piano loops and vaguely reminiscent of Plone.
Again though, the B-side is one The Future Crayon, the A-side on The Noise Made By People, so there's no need to get this if you have those.
