What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Ant feeling happy.

I'm not overly familiar with Palm Springs but here goes...It's the sound of someone's heart breaking committed to vinyl. Complete with elaborate orchestration there wont be a dry eye in the house as the singer utters 'Build it all up and tear it all down' He comes over all sentimental like. It's one of those records that those who connect with it will cherish. Timeless pop says Phil...

What the label says:

“I Start Fires” is the fourth single from Brighton/London based Palm Springs, and comes in the wake of their critically acclaimed debut album “No Hurt Like A Broken Heart” released earlier this year. The new single contrasts the epic orchestration and wall of sound choral panorama of “I Start Fires” , with the stripped down, late afternoon sun kissed melancholy of “Twilight Of A Star” and is accompanied by a video by Long Blondes video director Rupert Noble. “I Start Fires” is the sound of a band flexing their musical muscles and is the most ambitious and self-confident release to date of this truly individual and independent of bands. ‘Elaborated down to the last detail of the arrangement, to the superb dramaturgy of the songs circuitry, to the diaphanous capillary of the instrumentation. Chamber pop, mellow and bittersweet, each song a gem’ - Rolling Stone Magazine, ‘Palm Springs foundations are fantastically inventive and diverse uses of instrumentation, alongside beautifully observed and articulated lyrics’ Is This Music Magazine, ‘Simply wonderful stuff, and highly tipped’ Rough Trade Records

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
