Lordy this is good. We got a promo of this 2 months ago and I've been wetting
myself for the finished thing for fricking ages now. This is some dude from Youthmovie
Soundtrack Strategies who plays piano for 'em here and there. He's come up
with a belting album which has me slavering to bang it on the stereo whenever
possible. There's an awful lot of Animal Collective in there (Sung Tongs
era) along with hints of Hood, BrianWilson, Alexander Tucker and
even Talk Talk at times... 'There Is No Ian Bridgwater' is an outstanding
tune which has that medieval thing going on with Accordion and Bouzouki
(whatever that be but I think it's the mandolin sounding thing). Hey I sound
like I know what I'm on about don't I? Plenty of folk in there as well for you
who can't get enough folk. This is a truly remarkable CD anyway and I can't
recommend it enough. For fans of Animal Collective, Hood and great
music... Limited to 500 copies and there's a limited edition of 45 in a Hessian
sleeve exclusive to us. Also check out the competition where you can win
loads of Try Harder goodies.
