...according to our Brian on 01 September 2010.
Big fat deranged buzz single of the week alert. Yes, by the time you read this, it could well be sold out. "The Guardian" have been seduced but what does that really mean? Are Still Corners really that great? Phil was blown away by the slinky majesty of their previous collection 'Remember Pepper?' the other year then.... Nothing. Until now. Are Still Corners "the best new band in Britain"? Does that heap tons of unreasonable expectation on their young, attractive shoulders? Well yes they sound pretty wonderful to me. Combining classic old-skool spectral pop nous with stunning ethereal vocals and a sort of sunkissed, hazy indie-folk timelessness, they no longer sound exclusively like a (good) Broadcast pastiche. just a remarkably assured & gifted band with a rich & striking sound. The two songs here are both quite fragile, sad-eyed & beautiful, with an assured production & a classic "indie kid-friendly" sleeve design. This is the kind of record you wait months for & when it arrives you can't quite believe how perfect it is. Don't dawdle on this one, guys 'n' gals..... Numbered of 700 copies only in two pressings.
Following a debut self released CD EP in 2008, London’s Still Corners regroup to a recent fanfare of widespread acclaim for recent killer live shows and a body of mesmerizing new songs. Two of which feature on the band’s debut wax outing on The Great Pop Supplement. Described recently by The Guardian as one of the best new bands in Britain, suggesting they may about to become forebearers for a new golden age of indie. So no pressure there then.
Terms such as “dreamy noir-pop“, “lush, hazy”, “timeless, reverb drenched bliss” have all been bandied around of late, check out the video for double A sider “Wish” online which merely hints at the reason for so much salivating of late. An epic 45 which will disappear in the blink of an eye. 400 numbered copies.
