What we say
 This record left our Phil feeling happy.
Lucy And The Caterpillar have a single out on their own self released label. I can't work out what it is called but given the catalogue number is LUCY03 one could only assume the label is named after the band. Genius me... Here's a 3 track CD single only release (yes they still make them) which has a nice homespun charm to it despite it being well produced. It's poppy alright (without it being shite) and it's gentle string led folk pop somewhere between Fairground Attraction and the very early Vashti Bunyan. The CD is called Lucy's Opinion and the highlight of it is the track called 'Beans On Toast'.... not musically like... just cos it's called Beans On Toast. I bet I've had beans on toast at least 300 times in my life.... maybe even more? When there's nothing to eat and you're stuck for inspiration you can't beat a plate of beans on toast. I'm well into Branston beans these days.... Heinz have lost me...
What the label says:
Lucy & The Caterpillar, Manchester’s most exciting new solo artist, releases her single Lucy’s Opinion on 28th April 2008. The single is available in a limited edition hand stitched felt sleeve, designed and made by Lucy herself, as well via download.
Lucy Conroy follows her limited release singles ‘Red Red Wine’ and ‘Kings Cross’ with The Earlies produced ‘Lucy’s Opinion’, for which she worked with a full band for the first time. ‘Lucy’s Opinion’ steers away from her stripped back acoustic musings and sees The Earlies adding layers of sonic richness to the single, which is a slice of pure indie pop.
Lucy is an incredibly talented 20 year old musician from Manchester who has been making waves in the last year alongside her ‘caterpillar’, the pet name for her trusty acoustic guitar. Drawing comparisons to Regina Spektor and describing herself as a cross between Vashti Bunyan and Destiny’s Child, Lucy’s style is inimitable. Fans include Radio 1’s Huw Stephens who has invited Lucy to record a session in April and Steve Lamacq. Citing influences as diverse as Andrew Bird, The Velvet Underground and Carole King, Lucy’s passion for nostalgia spreads beyond music and to her vintage clothes shop in Hebden Bridge.
A poster girl for the vintage inspired, Lucy is a modern day Mancunian Jean Seberg. Taking inspiration from everyday situations, Lucy writes touching retro pop songs. Live gigs see Lucy taking to the stage equipped with her ‘caterpillar’, her hand knitted lucky mascot Olivia and a bucket load of wit, selected future shows will see her heading out on the road with a full band.
