English indie pop band The Would-Be-Goods took a bit of Greek mythology wherein Zeus has his way with a Spartan queen in the guise of swan and turned it into an upbeat song, Tears for Leda. Of course it does not end well. Gods are never trustworthy: "We took it hard and fast // We took it nice and slow // And then he pecked me on the cheek and said // Time for me to go".
The Would-Be-Goods:
Jessica Griffin: guitar, vocals
Peter Momtchiloff: guitar (Heavenly, Talulah Gosh)
Debbie Greensmith: drums (Thee Headcoatees)
Andy Warren: bass (The Monochrome Set, Adam and the Ants)
Tears for Leda is released via Skep Wax, Their new album Tears Before Bedtime will be available on February 13 (vinyl, CD, digital). It is available for preorder here.
