“These Things” by She Wants Revenge

"These Things" was She Wants Revenge's debut single and the lead track from their self-titled first album, a song Justin Warfield and Adam Bravin wrote together. Warfield sings, plays guitar and engineered it, the band produced it, and Michael Patterson mixed it.

It's a cold, pulsing slab of dark new wave, all throbbing bass, icy keyboards and Warfield's low, deadpan croon, the sound of a nightclub after the lights go down. It peaked at 22 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart. The band made two videos for it, and one of them casts Garbage singer Shirley Manson as a stranger who helps Warfield up after he's jumped on a city street at night, then turns up behind his attacker.
