"Germans in space, make me feel so tender"
If you can get over this lyric, then you should listen to Dan Edelstyn. To me, it sounds like an in-joke that doesn't quite work. Part Beta Band, part Beck - this is a ramshackle, bedroom-produced, lo-fi, quirky pop, folk, Ian Brody reject of a song. Whilst also being very similar to the worst thing Adam & Joe never made. Because it was a rubbish idea when it was an in-joke, and it still is now.
"Psycho Town" is much better, with a psychobilly creep and some cool sax. I start to warm to Mr Edelstyn, but then the CD starts over again and it's all forgotten. "Germans in Space" comes on again. I feel nothing for Edelstyn. I used to, but not now.
