I'm going to South by Southwest next year. By all accounts, the stuff showcased this year was totally killer and I feel dumb for missing it. Happy Birthday JP!
Well crafted dream-pop with nice sweet girly vocals. Yum! And catchy too!
Good advice for anyone. And he's Scotch (I think)!
Normally, I dislike blues intensely. Especially blues played by living people. And especially especially by living, white people. Its a direct result of suffering a thriving white-guy blues scene in Chicago and at the same time, not being able to get shows for my own band. I'm not saying my stuff was better, but at least it was original and authentic. I have to make an exception in this case, both because this isn't exactly blues and because it has a 'shiney' quality that fascinates me.
If AC-DC had had a new wave side project, this is what it would sound like.
The tender vocal harmonies and vulnerable pose of this song drew me in. The "lets make lemonade out of these lemons" story kept me listening. A bit like Madeline Adams, whom I also love.
Neither the song or band are new, but... Its an R.E.M. cover of Pale Blue Eyes! One of my favorite bands doing a cover of one of my all time favorite VU songs.
