The Great British Tune Up #3
Tune up your musical life with a British musical pit-stop…
Blogs all around the world are writing about British music, and offering up loads of mp3s. So to sum up:
*******
Fluxblog: Charlotte Hatherly: “The verses are grey and turbulent, and the chorus splits into a strange, sideways harmony that nearly trips over a low, mumbling male vocal“. It sure sounds more promising than the news of Ash not releasing any more albums…
*******
Good Weather For Airstrikes: The Moths: GWFAS are summering in London Town, and introduce indie-pop “a triple threat of near-flawless British guitar-pop gems… a shining example of how unbridled optimism, youthful exuberance and clever lyricism can converge to create one of the best tracks of the year.” Appearing on a podcast near you soon.
*******
funfunfun: Slow Club: Good friends of mine Slow Club were seen by Mr FFF and they seemed to enjoy the Slow Club as much as I do “As soon as they started playing it all fell into place, the venue, the tea, the cake, the milkshake all seemed to be encompassed in their sweet harmonies and cute and kooky lyrics”.
*******
Said The Gramophone: Caz Mechanic: Sean discusses “If I see a bear” with the usual panache “A song like a secret casually disclosed; a “So there!” murmured so quiet that the pride is lost.”
*******
Aurgasm: Sol Seppy: English, but plying her musical trade/ telling her stories in the States. “Goldfrapp-ish electro-pop tendencies, fuzzy electronic beats and gorgeous vocals”

Try out Covert Curiousity, he’s got a feature every now and again called, “It Came From the UK” that’s just brilliant…

Try http://happyclapmusic.blogspot.com - it has music from all over he world, but focuses heavily on UK stuff.
