MAGGIE darlings here with my first 7" from Monkey Swallows The Universe with Little Polveir. Sweet classy female fronted pop outfit signed to Loose. They kind of got the swing your pants Camera Obscura sound with not a note out of place or a crease in the ball gowns they adorn on the sleeve. B- sides got some cool vocal harmony going on. pretty.
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.
