It really conveys that very gay impulse of being a worshipped religious icon and the dirtiest slag ever at the same time.
This album is legendary. "Complicated Game" is such a wonderfully neurotic banger and one of the most poignant new wave tracks ever made.
Horns in dance-rock music are my guilty pleasure so I'm eating this shit up honestly.

On Heinos's review of Glass Animals - I Love You So F***ing Much
"I haven't listened to the record but I think the line you quoted is a H2G2 reference, which doesn't sound too absurd in the current climate of pre-apocalyptic anxiety or something."
