What we say

What the label says:

The EP is a sparkling blend of boy/girl harmonies, spiraling guitars and delicate piano lines. It contains four inventive and uplifting songs, taking life’s daily dilemmas, tousling their hair and whisking them away to the dancefloor.

Pocketbooks are a pop group from London – one moment creating heartstopping melodies and harmonies, and the next casting a spell of delicacy and intimacy. There’s a sprinkling of dazzling 60s soul alongside the stylish charm of Camera Obscura, Saint Etienne, Belle and Sebastian and The Pipettes.

The band formed in 2006, having met on the dancefloors of London’s indiepop and northern soul clubs. Even before we’d played a gig, we appeared on the acclaimed compilation, The Kids At The Club (How Does It Feel To Be Loved?), alongside established names including Voxtrot, I'm From Barcelona and Lucky Soul.

In 2007, we headlined the first ever Indietracks festival on a steam railway in the Derbyshire countryside. We’ve also played shows across the country – from London to Sheffield and Brighton to Leeds – alongside bands including Fanfarlo, The School, Monica Queen, Butcher Boy and Saturday Looks Good To Me.

We released our debut 7” single ‘Cross The Line’ on the Atomic Beat Records label in May 2007, and appeared on a Smalltown America compilation in November, following in the footsteps of The Go! Team and Blood Red Shoes.
