Gramercy Arms - Shining Bright

A stellar New York based collective that includes members of Joan As Police Woman, Lloyd Cole,
Guided By Voices, Sarah Silverman, Dead Air & Shudder To Think, led by cult songwriter Dave Derby.

The lead track ‘Shining Bright’ on this new EP is a sweet slice of west
coast power pop, straight out of the east coast and taken from Gramercy
Arms’ new self titled album. There are also three brand new, non album
Gramercy Arms songs here that reveal a more pensive autumnal sound (in
striking contrast to the summery feel of their album), plus a remix.
· ‘Walking Around’, with its mournful classic R&B flavour, features
gorgeous backing vocals from one of 2008’s most acclaimed stars, Joan As
Police Woman. “Let’s not make this harder than it has to be,” croons
Dave Derby in the song describing the pain of walking past his ex-lover’s
apartment in New York City.
· Mascot’s Kendall Meade and avant garde guitarist / songwriter Chris
Brokaw lend vocals and guitar to the heartbreaking Raymond Carveresque
musical story of divorce and dissolution that is ‘Fell Apart’.
