Funk is one of the most grossly overused words in music journalism, but one can’t help thinking of the term when listening to The Emergency‘s “Spending Time.” The basslines groove, the the harmonies slink, and if the vocals didn’t remind us of pasty white Englishmen from the mid-’80s, we might be convinced this track is straight from the 1960s. Love those handclaps too.
