Watch it, he's a prestidigitator...
It's getting cold outside, but I've heard some cracking songs this week, and have three days of super hotness for you. Well, if I manage to write the posts that is.
Ebay is often a good way of spotting the bands that are about to take off... and judging by how much the debut single by Guillemots is currently going for, you may be wise to keep an eye on them next year.
This is the lead track from that debut single, and is a glorious slice of 80's style guitar pop. I don't really remember Aztec Camera much, but I can somehow see them performing this on Top of the Pops surrounded by loads of balloons and badly dancing girls with bad perms.
That may be a mangled combination of disparate memories, but this does take me back to the 80's, and not in a bleepy synthesised way. I could see this playing over the closing credits of a John Hughes teen movie, maybe while watching Molly Ringwald disappear into the distance.
I really love this, despite the band apparently being once described (according to their website) as 'a stupefyingly bad mix of Keane and Kenny G'!!
GUILLEMOTS - WHO LEFT THE LIGHTS OFF BABY
There's a new single coming out at the beginning of December... you can watch an exerpt from the video and download a selection of tracks here.
I reckon i'm going to head back to OurDisco this weekend, where there is a DFA night with Delia & Gavin playing live. The main reason I mention this is that if you look on the top 10 chart on the frontpage, you'll see at number one a Justice remix of Franz Ferdinand. Needless to say i'm quite keen to hear this, so if anyone manages to get a copy please feel free to send an mp3 in this direction ,-)
EDIT: THANKS COMMENT DUDES / CHICKS - that was some fast service! Here is da JUSTICE
They've cut Franz and the Ferdinands beyond all recognition... it's a badass growling electro-glitch-hop monster. Sounds a bit like Wildchild's 'Renegade Master' to me.
How I love Justice.
