This record left our Clint feeling happy.
Has anyone used a telephone recently? Good aren't they? Better than email and text and all that kind of thing. You can speak the words instead of writing them down. Maybe we should do this mail out by telephone one day - ringing each of you up individually. It will be nice and will bring us all closer together. Anyway new CD by Feedle. I'm assured I liked their first one but can't remember. At first I thought Brian said The Feeling who I know I like but these lot? Yeah, its OK. Its doing that electronica/rock crossover thing that people like Ratatat think they are doing but fail miserably. Its a little bit like some of the last Blue States album. Melodic 'electronica' with more beefy sounds such as rock guitars and actual singing - Caribou/Manitoba springs to mind too- some of this is well jolly. All Your Days Are Weird is on Ecke.

What their label says...
‘All Your Days Are Weird’ is the brilliant second album from the mighty Feedle, released in October by the new London imprint Ecke Records.
Following its success as a download only release in 2006 on SVC Records, Feedle’s debut album, ‘Leave Now for Adventure’, was given a hard copy release in March 2007 on Illicit Recordings, receiving warm praise from certain corners of the UK press and radio. Radio 1's Huw Stevens described it as “throbbing”, whereas Drowned in Sound gave it 9/10, saying it was “unashamedly exciting and achingly beautiful… the most satisfying electronica album of the year”. “Emotive, intelligent and majestic”, proclaimed IDJ who were kind enough to give it 4 stars. It also found favour with Steve Lamacq and Stuart Maconie at 6Music, and Feedle was invited to record a session for John Kennedy’s XFm show.
Where ‘Leave Now for Adventure’ was about bright hooks induced by noise and stretched into blissful, endless loops, ‘All Your Days Are Weird’ is an exercise in brevity, about jamming ideas into corners, and keeping the run-times short. There is a greater emphasis on vocals, with proper big, shiny choruses and rousing guitars, but it still makes extensive use of synths and programming and the soaring electronic hooks that made Feedle’s name. Imagine a psychedelic sea shanty soundclash between Kevin Shields, the Orb, Plone and Syd Barrett. On a fairground waltzer.
The album’s opening track, ‘Picturedrome’, was played by Huw Stephens on his Radio 1, and also featured on the Radio 1 ‘Introducing’ podcast. Tom Robinson at 6 Music has also played ‘Picturedrome’.
