Just Listen: Bandit – Ice Cream
Bandit
Ice Cream
Words by Gary Lambert
I’ll hold my hands up now and tell you that at first listen, I didn’t like Ice Cream by Bandit. But when the second to fifth listens happen without you playing it because the song is stuck in your head and you’re singing along, then I had to admit I’d changed my mind on the track.
Ice Cream, like a 99, is fun and can instantly make you feel youthful, but musically could take you on a wild ride like Radiator-era Super Furry Animals. A soundtrack to the joyous abandon of love, low-budget dates and summertime. There’s no hiding from the Britpop vibe to Ice Cream, but you know the summers of 1994-98 were pretty awesome so I’m not going to complain.
Ice Cream could be the soundtrack to the summer. It’ll definitely be part of my soundtrack.
