Richard Fearless – Vision Of You
The years I spent recording and playing live with Richard as part of Death In Vegas were huge fun, rewarding, and really changed my perception of how to play and put music together, for good. I still see Richard sometimes when I’m at Soup Studio, as his place is just close by. This is the sound of DIV/Richard solo now. Beautiful stripped down electronics on his own label, Drone, and an album which came out at the end of last year.
Graham Fellows – Love At The Hacienda
Having loved the Jilted John album, not least as a part of my obsession with Martin Hannett, time seemed to leapfrog straight past this for me in 1985, and the next I knew was Graham doing Shuttleworth/Appleton etc. I’d heard of this mythic Graham Fellows ‘serious’ album for ages, then finally found you could get it on CD direct from the man himself. This is a great record. If The Hollies had been on Factory……..!
Citizen Helene – PS I Don’t Love You
Helene Bradley releases music far, far less frequently than ANY of us would like! Her latest (instrumental) project Galaxy Brain is dance-inducing string driven electroboogie of the highest order. This song is from her first EP in 2011, and the first music I heard by Helene. Marvellous sunshine pop singing and writing……
The Galileo 7 – Too Late
Modern psych pop with the Medway flowing though its veins. I may have nodded hello to Allan Crockford in about 1986 when he was in The Prisoners and both our bands supported The Ramones in London. Got to know him and the great State Records crew a bit more in recent years via Kent friends, and discovered the G7. One of the most exciting bands I’ve heard on record and live, and fab hypermelodic songs. Mole is my favourite drummer.
Andy Lewis – A Feeling Bigger Than Heaven
I’ve had the pleasure and honour to play with Andy on a few different projects lately. He’s always a very busy man, and rightly so. This is the second single he’s released in the last month and mighty fine it is too. A much-needed flash of striding optimism and sunshine. Imagine if this was the new theme music for Newsnight!
Amy Rigby – The President Can’t Read
Special best wishes to Amy and other half Wreckless Eric who have come through some tough times and illness in the last few months. This is a brilliant track from Amy that came out last year….
Bonus Beats:
The Riot Squad – The Toy Soldier EP
Acid Jazz teasingly not making the tracks available to play or download – but probably the closest you’ll get to finding a 60’s Bowie record on Bandcamp. The greatest version of the VU’s Waiting For The Man is on this EP. It says there’s only 3 copies left!!
