Prelow’s “Mistakes Like This” Tells it Like it is

Matt Walsh and Jesse Aicher are the two 22-year-olds who make up NYC’s Prelow. Thus far they’ve only posted two songs on their soundcloud: the plinkety chill-pop of “Simple Song” and “For the Team,” a kind of indie-tronica on ice. Above is the first listen of their new song “Mistakes Like This,” which is accompanied not by a traditional video per se, but more a looped visual that sees them falling repeatedly into a pool and backwards-emerging from it. They also spend a good deal of time lurking in the water like a busted version of Neve Campbell and Denise Richards on the cover of sexy-schlocky movie Wild Things.

What’s great about this song—apart from its slyly catchy melody—is the hilariously upfront chorus which runs:

“And my dick takes over/
And I’m thinking about your lips/
But we’re too damn sober/
For mistakes like this.”

As someone whose New Year’s resolution was to not overthink/overanalyze life and all its situations for the next 12 months, I highly suggest singer Jesse just follows the demands of his dick and let’s life take its course. Alcohol intake is optional.
