Dutch Uncles – Oh Yeah

Dutch Uncles’ latest cut apparently came about because chief composer Robin Richards wanted to “write the fastest Dutch Uncles song to date.” It’s not that the Mancunians haven’t had quick-paced moments before – they’ve got more than a few up-tempo tunes lingering in their back catalogue – but nothing feels quite as immediate or frenetic as ‘Oh Yeah’.

From the buoyant vintage synths that herald its arrival, to Duncan Wallis’ energised vocal performance and driving drum beats, everything feels invigorated. The fact that they manage to pull it off while still sounding like the Dutch Uncles we know and love – injecting a few strange key changes and a smattering of piano and strings into the mix – just makes the blend all the more endearing. Could it be one of their best to date? ‘Oh Yeah’.
