On their page they describe themselves as "retro pop with a swing" which is exactly the feeling I got out of "Terrible Things". The beginning of this song also has some kind of burlesque vibe to it, as in the sound not the images. The swing vibe really takes over at the 1:30 mark.
It really is awesome to hear such an old fashion sound resurrected as well as they do. If it weren't for the song being more upbeat, one would think it is a track out of the 1930s or 1940s. You always have to respect an artist for taking a risk in finding their voice in such a limited sound, at least fan base wise. But April Smith & The Great Picture Show cross other genre borders to widen its appeal. Something that is very well done, and rarely achieved.
