Man/Woman/Chainsaw – ‘Only Girl’

Man/Woman/Chainsaw have shared ‘Only Girl’ to celebrate their signing to Fiction Records (The Cure, St. Vincent, The Horrors).

Described by the band as their ‘playful love song’, there’s a touch of late 2010s fightpop in the blend of gorgeous violin and crunching riffs while also slotting seamlessly alongside the contemporary batch of chamber-math enthusiasts like Black Country, New Road and Divorce.

Vera Leppänen celebrates the joys of love – ‘No, I can’t get enough’; ‘I want you undone’ – over a relentlessly upbeat melody before things go up a level in intensity – repeats of ‘holding me for a minute’ – and finishing with a flourish of joyful harmonies.
