Released: 25th August 2008
Reviewer: Bevis Man
If sparkly eyed, easily digestible indie pop is your cup of tea, this latest offering from The Dandy Warhols should fit in nicely with the rest of your CD collection. Coming in at just over 2 minutes long, it’s a short, sharp and rather sweet affair that will do little to reignite the music industry's apparent downturn, but holds enough charismatic flair and swagger to just about pull it off.

Straightforward and possibly all the better for it, the single, taken from their sixth long player ‘Earth to the Dandy Warhols’, is still a long way from anything you might find populating the latest Vodafone adverts. Instead ‘Mission Control’ is an electro clash homage to those Belgian oddities Deus. Laden with the chiming pop tinged guitars over a repetitive chorus, it’s about the closest you’ll get to wanting to dance like a robot without having to pull on that flashy sequined jumpsuit you put away at the end of the 80s. Credit where credits due, the single will most likely appeal to die hard fans above anyone else, but is a welcome diversion nonetheless. Rating: 6/10
