What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our Clint feeling ecstatic.

Listening to the Umlaut single today made me think that the 'cutie' scene  is definitely back. I think I'll go and dust down my old Haywains badge. Anyway I thought I'd give a little mention to a couple of the leading lights of that scene the first time around who have new albums out this week on LTM. The best band on Sarah Records were undoubtedly The Field Mice. We have a new CD by The Occasional Keepers  which is a project of Bobby Wratten (Field Mice) alongside collaborators from Trembling Blue Stars, Aberdeen and The Wake. The album is a mixed bag featuring dark Go-Betweens style ballads, droning Northern Picture Library type ambient soundscapes and everything in-between. Next is a re-issue of 'Lyceum' by fellow Sarah Records alumni The Orchids featuring a whole host of extra singles. In hindsight The Orchids sound quite unbelievably like Felt ....with maybe a hint of Orange Juice. They wrote some great songs and many are included here.

About the humble CD:

The CD is essentially a small portable face mirror which has an extra feature of being able to play music (through a thing known as a CD player). These CD's are a modern invention hence them being all shiny and digital. They can hold about 80 minutes of music and apparently are indestructible as you can smear jam on them and they still play (not as nourishing as toast mind you but when you're hungry.....). They sound crystal clear and are tiny convenient things. They lack the charm and warmth of their old analogue counterparts but their portability, convenience and ease of being duplicated make them a perfect thing of a thing for most folks. Jewel cases are the worst thing ever though and they really need to stop.
