Apparently sampling a roundabout whirring slowly like it’s batteries are dying, ‘Confetti’ is a deceptively dark song, which whilst appearing bland on a first listen, cleverly uses its drumming monotony to stealthily wedge itself in the head. Lyrically it seems as though 1,2,3 are trying their utmost to be deep and meaningful, but their assertions that ‘7 billion people living under the stars. Most you’ll never meet, they’ll never know who you are’, are far from profound. Listening is like being trapped in a strangely enjoyable yet nightmarish fairground. However, just like the teacups, too many goes makes you feel sick.
