If a bell is ringing, it could well be that you recognise this duo as two thirds of 2008's gnarliest electro merchants Le Corps Mince De Françoise. But after a streamlining of both moniker and line-up, the bandit mask face-paint is no more and this time the vibeometer has been clicked firmly onto heady good-times. With a sudden synth stab there is an eruption of technicolor energy and somehow the world is just feeling a much poppier place. Hot stepping into our lives from this psychedelic netherworld are LCMDF, two Helsinki sisters smouldering with more Smash Hits factor than Neneh Cherry's Top Trumps card and more giddy, skewed hooklines than an Ace of Base boxset that has been left out in the sun too long. At a time when the popsphere feels a cooler habitat than it has been in fifty years, this formidable twosome of Kemppainens - Emma and Mia - are here to remind people that while cool is fine an'ol, deranged fun is just the best.

Baggy beats and frazzled alt.pop pouts supercharged with fidgeting jump-up electronic energy is the modus operandi. It's been a year since their first release as LCMDF, Something Golden, was heralded with single-of-the-month-type round-ups everywhere from NME to the Guardian. Now as the curtains begin to draw on 2010, the girls in the baggy white shirts, denim hot-pants and Lennon shades are back, this time readying the release of their debut long player, Love & Nature, on the legendary Heavenly Records, a poignant acquisition for a label of such grand party pop heritage.

Hey boy got your message, yeah I’m all good
It’s time that I break you the bad news
It’s not hard at all but I’m confused
I’m excused, yeah really what did I do?

I don’t know what to do
It’s a shame and it’s lame, I don’t know what
I don’t know what to do with you

I don’t know what to do
It’s a shame and it’s lame, I don’t know what
I don’t know what to do with you

And I go like

Hey boy consider to get a room
For you and your creepy attitude
I dont have the time I have to go to school
Yeah you say you like me but it won’t do

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of LCMDF's song "Whatever" are about rejecting someone's persistent advances. The singer is responding to a boy's message, but she is not interested in pursuing a relationship with him. She breaks the bad news to him - that she just doesn't feel the same way - but he seems to be in denial about it or not understanding. The singer is frustrated, as she doesn't want to hurt him, but also doesn't know what else to say or do to make him stop trying. She even suggests he find a room, indicating that his advances are unwanted and inappropriate.

The chorus repeats the word "whatever" multiple times, which serves as a dismissive and nonchalant response to the boy's advances. It's an expression of her frustration and disinterest. The singer is essentially saying that she doesn't care about him, his efforts, or anything he has to offer, hence "Don't need what you got", "Show me what you got? Whatever". Overall, the song is a message of empowerment, reminding listeners that it's okay to say no if they're not interested and that they don't owe anyone their attention or affection.
