...according to our Dave on Thu 05 Aug, 2010.
The new single by Sky Larkin is quite good. It sounds like the best parts of Throwing Muses and Belly, with a soupcon of enchantment. I don't know what I mean by that. What I do know is this single is a very catchy, well produced slice of rock pie, that sits rather well with yours truly. The chorus is disarmingly memorable... erm what was it again etc.. The B side is a cover version of a Mother Vulpine song. I don't like Mother Vulpine I think they are a bit wrong, a bit like a ball-bag in the wind or a crab in shades trying to get into a turtles only lap dancing club. The strangest thing about this cover is the vocals are so swathed in effects I have no inclination as to what the fucks going on. A side 1 B side 0.
“Still Windmills” was recorded in Seattle by John Goodmanson (Girls, Blonde Redhead, Sleater-Kinney).
The b-side was recorded by Ed Waring in The Crypt, West Yorkshire, where the band demoed the new album.
“We'll Be Detectives” was written by Mother Vulpine, the legendary Leeds grunge rockers who later spawned Pulled Apart By Horses and Dinosaur Pile-Up and also featured original Sky Larkin bassist, Lindsay Wilson.
