What we say

Rating: happy This record left our BRIAN D feeling happy.

Thank goodness for the Laurel Collective who have that knack of producing effortlessly pristine indie pop that sounds fresh & energetic & downright confident. It's down to the clear, bright un-faddy production & passionate playing on offer. The singer has an fine, natural vocal range & the tunes are smart, spirited, intelligent blasts of cerebral sound with a knowing, eclectic feel. They sound erm...horribly accomplished. Well that's a word I hate but it's a right battlefield in London and i'm not surprised Double Six have been nurturing these. They're quite accessible but there's loads going on to appeal to the more intelligent commercial indie fan who likes his/her songs punchy but easy on the ear. If all that sounds a little REASONABLE coming from Brian the Mouth then you really should have heard that fucking Puressence single. This is absolute audio nectar after that horrorshow. 'Feel Good Hits of a Nuclear Winter' is on CD only and is a mini album style jobster.

What the label says:

Laurel Collective are a genre trashing six-piece led by the twin attack and contrasting vocals of front men Martin Sakutu and Bob Tollast. Imagine the motley crew spirit of such misfit gangs as The Specials and Dexys Midnight Runners mixed with the rhythmical assault and groove of Sly & The Family Stone, and blended with the psychedelic pop sensibilities of Super Furry Animals and you’d be half way there.
The Laurels are most definitely not your straight forward, ready-for-pigeonholing indie band. With dancehall rhythms and a love of US alt-rock, the band somehow manage to harness a multitude of influences and sounds to create a sound that is quite distinctly their own.
The band’s debut mini-album ‘Feel Good Hits Of A Nuclear Winter’ is a psych-pop epic, bristling with energy and ambition, full of made-for-festival sing-a-long choruses and oddball charm.
From the muscular opening riffs of ‘Hercules’ through to Olly Puglisi’s fizzing ‘Modern Life Is Rubbish’ guitar lines on album closer ‘Printers’, ‘Feel Good Hits Of A Nuclear Winter’ marks Laurel Collective out as a very different, but very exciting new band.
