4...according to our Brett on Fri 17 Oct, 2008.

I started listening to Mia Vigar and their 'I Dare You' track (twinned with 'Seaside' on this 7") on 45rpm as is befitting of a small wee record and it sounded demented. So it put it down to 33rpm and now it sounds like they're playing through treacle, or maybe like they've all only just started playing their instruments so they're going dead slowly so they don't make any fuck ups. Brian's well dee-jay and he reckons 45rpm pitched right down sounds about right.. You can interprit this one for yourself, probably as much fun as you'll have with any other non-interactive 7" out this week. In our interpretation it sounds sort of like 80s rockabilly indie with a pretty ace wonky bassline. Bonus points for the terrifying papier mache model on the cover too! On Hungry Audio.

Finno-English lass Mia Vigar makes distinctively peculiar pop-music. Having released little nuggets of audio magic on labels such as Twisted Nerve (as Luma Lane) and Cherryade (as True Adventures), she launches herself under her own name. The first fruits from her forthconming album are these two tracks on a delicious slab of old fashioned vinyl. Both the upbeat 'I Dare You' and the melancholy 'Seaside' were performed during her Radio One session for Huw Stephens. Mia has drawn comparisons with the likes of Konki Duet, Stina Nordenstam and Cocteau Twins.
