I only played "Want To Talk" by The Cucumbers once on KCOU, and I regret not playing this impressive power pop track more often. The tune grabs you with its hook from the first note and never lets go. Each instrument is essential to the tune's propulsion, and the vocals have a quintessentially '80s vibe. Late in the tune, there's a hypnotic quality to the repetition of the word "eyes."
Talk about crafting a great riff and sustaining it. I'm thankful to have rediscovered it earlier this year.
