...according to our Clinton on Fri 29 Dec, 2006.
On Awkward Silence first up Marcia Blaine School For Girls and d_rradio. Marcia Blaine is good rhythmic electronica a la Gescom and/or EU. d_rradio are an excellent new band from Newcastle-Upon-Tyne like whose demo impressed us earlier in the year. Its mellow drifty soothing post rock in the style of Tarentel but with more interesting electronic trickery. They have a 7" out on Static Caravan shortly so get in on the ground floor....according to Mikkel.
A fabulous split. The Marcia Blaine School for Girls track is sparse and sinister electronica, and d_rradio delivers a pretty, almost gorgeous piece of romantic melancholia. Recommended if you like the first Manual releases, Signaldrift, and EU.
