What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Maggie feeling happy.

Gravenhurst with their album The Western Lands with its shoegazy rock sound on Warp. All traditional instruments are bashed crashed and then occasionally put away in a cupboard to make way for Nick Talbot's soft vocals. Sounds kind of 80's but its a nice enough tunesmithery to tickle the whistle even if its not getting blown...

What the label says:

A triumphant blend of psyche rock & euphoric lo-fi pop via seamless guitar expertise, exploring themes of romance, loss and sheer madness.It features ten epic tracks with echoes of Indies finest My Bloody Valentine and Yo La Tengo, the great Husker Du and the mighty Velvet Underground. Plus it features a truly unique cover of the English folk legends Fairport Convention classic track ‘Farewell, Farewell’.The critics agree too, with Mojo calling up, on receipt of an early sampler, to book an august feature (out now!), NME converting new fans via their office stereo, The Sunday Times citing ‘Trust’ as the “Hottest Download Of The Week” and a rapturous 9/10 review on Drowned In Sound. Other confirmed features are all in the highest quality indie media including Plan B, Timeout and Pitchfork.

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.
