A couple of years back the Jacobin magazine wrote that “However, twee — particularly in Britain — has a much longer and more complex political legacy, tied to punk, opposition to Thatcherism, and a fledgling attempt at carving out a socialist music culture”
That fight is still ongoing and Indonesian twee-pop band Yes Minster pick up the baton with their ire being squarely directed at corporate bosses and politicians. Mind you the band name and cover art should have given that away even before the vocals come into play. Whilst some political songs are pretty dire this one is pretty good and is catchy with it too. Word wise it isn’t going to rival Das Kapital but in a pop song the lyrics make perfect sense.
Fight the power with Chaotic Pop Records!
