Blonder “Ice Cream Girl”

Constantine Anastasakis is very good at a very ‘90s alt-rock move of contrasting bright notes with a heavy and burbling low end that makes the whole song feel a bit nauseous. It’s an underrated way of expressing anxiety – a more jittery rhythm feels right for a more high-strung personality, but the sounds in “Ice Cream Girl” are more particular to someone with lower expectations in life and less inclination to want to control everything. Despite the sickly tone the song really works as pop, particularly as Anastasakis’ voices drifts up into falsetto on the sing-songy bridge into the slam-the-fuzzbox chorus.

Buy it from Amazon.
