this is #TheCribs smoking on #BeachBoys bongs and this is a very weird video.
long story short i am trying to #ABSORB their latest album (late being 2020) and this song is sticking out to me, explains why it's a single

#TheCribs 2nd album "The New Fellas" won NME's 2005 album of the Year award -- no idea why.
In my #ExpertOpinion there are only two songs worth listening to on repeat, and that's "Hey Scenesters!", an evolution of the dual-vocals approach where #TheTwins Ryan and Gary sound like overdubs during the chorus sticks in your mind like toxoplasmosis (in a good way) and "Mirror Kisses" with its instantly memorable "oh-oooh" motif.

#TheCribs first album is British #TheStrokes; excellent from start to finish, despite wearing its influences on its sleeve. Ryan's guitar is hyper repetitive yet has an ear for incredibly catchy chord progressions that shine through briefly during brief moments of respite from the chaotic; and the chaos is brilliant too. Brothers vocals are teenaged and punkish, immature but work well; this is learning of ropes, impressive because this is their 2nd best record, according to my #ExpertOpinion

ok, #TheCribs are my favorite band right now. and this feels like the quintessential Cribs song.
extremely #sloppy yet tight, loud with the #SoftBits, angst-ridden reflective commentary, nasty but terribly melodic.
quite "not quite" when first hearing the song but something makes you listen to it again, and then again, and again after that.
the shift from #sludgy verses into the extra #hyper chorus also another common #CribsMotif
