Fuzzy and comforting, this track from the Maccabees’ debut album ‘Colour It In’ serves as a soft cocoon, safe from the harsh world.
Gentle yet provocative, with lines like ‘Lay with me, I’ll lay with you. We’ll do the things lovers do’, this track serves a departure from the energetic, furious indie jams that these guys have become known for. ‘Toothpaste Kisses’ features a mellow, tropical feel that
is interrupted by anticipatory strings midway through, which lend an excitement to the track, as with the beginning of any promising affair. As if that doesn’t sell it, there is even a whistling solo at the end.
