What we say

Rating: unmoved This record left our Ant feeling unmoved.

The relief that Grantura's 'In Dreams' is not a butchering of the Roy Orbison classic has come as a relief... So what is it then you ask??? They're a band that play some acoustic guitar pop that's had comparisons to Teenage Fanclub and are getting support from the Radio 6 crew. There's a folkie edge to it, especially in the vocal harmonies.'The Long Road' on the flip has a country twist. I'm not really feeling it but it doesn't make me want to forcefully inject my ears with expanding foam either. We sold a few of their last single and I expect if that did it for you then this will too.Ltd to 500 copies.

What the label says:

Grantura’s previous single was supported by Janice Long and Mark Radcliffe on Radio 2 and garnered single of the week on 6Music.
A live Janice Long session for Radio 2 was recorded in February 08.   ‘In Dreams’ has already been picked up by BBC 6Music Gideon Coe show.
Title track to forthcoming album released August 2008.    Limited to 500 copies.
"They sound like the more rueful musings of Teenage Fanclub. A solid foundation of acoustic guitars, mandolin, monstrous tunes and delirious harmonies." – Music Week, "I've got a soft spot for Grantura, a harmony driven, country pop band from London" – The Guardian,“That really is a beautiful song." – Mark Radcliffe. BBC Radio 2.

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.
