I think 'suddenly embarrassing' gets close to how Machine Gun Ibiza makes me feel. There's something very specifically English in it, something I've felt at holiday camp talent shows, pantomimes and end-of-pier shows. It's a mythic (small r) romanticism that tips into something else; it's a zone McAloon has been exploring for decades.

This may be my favorite couplet of all time:
You and I won't lose our heads the way some lovers doSaying "This will last forever" when it's just a year or two
