The latest single from the Japanese band Stomp Talk Modstone sees them abandoning their familiar noisy fuzz-laden shoegaze in favour of a gentle rock and roll ballad. Goodbye, False Friend could easily be on the soundtrack of one of that American high school coming of age movies set in the late 1950s, early 1960s. It’s one for the final dance that’s for sure given the nature of the words. The video is beautifully shot too although not in the setting I expected when originally listening to the song.
