FLOATING ACTION, “Matador”

Floating Action is my white whale – not least because Seth Kaufman lives two miles away from me, is a session musician for people Lana Del Rey (they mistook my kindness for weakness) and Dan Auerbach, and everyone in the area thinks he is the greatest. Including me. When I heard Floating Action play “matador” I thought it was the future of rock-n-roll. The song opens with a bleating loop that has a hiccup in it – perfectly handcrafted and homemade humanity in that one glitch. Then it has the killer chorus – “just like a matador you drove it straight through the heart.” I’ve been searching all my life for a killer line like that.
