Pick of the Week: When I Go - Slow Club

My eighth grade self would hate me. In eighth grade I only listened to bands like Minor Threat and spent a lot of time trying to perfect Sharpie drawings of the Dead Kennedys “DK” symbol on my desk. Now I find myself listening to “When I Go” by the cute and folksy duo Slow Club. I can just imagine younger-me stumbling upon modern-day-me and staring with mouth agape as modern-me sashays across the room to lyrics like “If we’re both not married by twenty three/Will you make my year and ask me?”

And I’m totally fine with that. Because Slow Club are damn good. And because every time I hear “When I Go” I find myself smiling. The song is catchy, the vocal interplay is gorgeous and fun and the words are reminiscent of a more pessimistic “When I’m 64.” And if you think I’m being an overly mushy mush-brain, then I dare you to listen to this song and not feel the same.
