STATS!
Temping is the debut album from British electro-pop band Stats. It explores the transient world of holding a temp job.
Between the five band members they’ve held a myriad of temp jobs including acting, market trading, composing, teaching, data entry-ing, tour guiding, writing, underwriting, transcribing, et cetera, et cetera. Basically, they know what it is to temp. This best nike running shoes is what the album is about. “Everyone feels like a temp sometimes, and the world seems fragile and precarious,” says lead singer Ed Seed.
All of the songs on the album explore a subset of that theme. For example, “Own It” talks about buildings and how they tower above shoes that look like jordan 4s us while “Me and Your Mother” is an apology to a baby that won’t be born.
All the songs give a generous nod to the 80s (Noisey even called Stats a halfway point nike flex run 2 red cheapest shoes for girls between Bowie and the Talking heads) but overall the sound on the 9-track album is very eclectic. “Own it” is an electro-pop anthem that builds up over the first four minutes and then breaks down into an orchestral choir of sound. “Near Mrs” is a piano led sing-a-long while “Me and Your Mother” is a soulful, almost bluesy, R&B song. Every song has its own personality and story.
