g-nashing of teeth

So where are people with Kate Nash? I have Foundations stuck in my head -- I suspect this will be like the Magic Numbers singles from a couple of years back, in that I'm enjoying the song but after two weeks I will actively hate it and want it to go away. But anyway, what strikes me most about it is how determinedly lo-fi it is -- basically it's a Helen Love song with incredibly mannered vocals over the top. First anti-folk no. 1 in UK history? C likes it a lot -- she says it actually speaks to her experience of relationships in a way which Lily Allen's stuff doesn't. And funnily, I found the video quite affecting when I looked it up on youtube (def. surprised by unexpected emotion) -- not frumpy-cute Kate and her human bf, but the animated toothbrushes and watches spooning.
