Primitive World
Phew, well it's been a rather hairy week, with my newish Vista PC suddenly deciding to not recognise my external hard drive - containing all my music. I'm rather embarrassed to admit quite how much is on there, but suffice to say it would have been slightly annoying had I lost it all.
Fortunately though, after a bit of messing round with drivers it seems to be back in business. Relief all round.
As a result i've finally been able to fix that Brand Image track that didn't upload properly last week. Yay!
So today i've been mainly listening to a track I was first sent & indeed should have posted up last year. Tahiti Boy is a guy called David who's formed a band with people from Poney Poney, Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya and sometimes TV on the Radio. They had a single out last year on Ed Banger offshoot Arcade Mode, and this was it.
Based on this single, he seems blessed with a similar gift for pop & melody as Phoenix, and there's something about the way the track gently crescendos towards the end that hooks you in & makes you skip straight back to the beginning again.
TAHITI BOY AND THE PALMTREE FAMILY - SHE WAS MINE
Tahiti Boy are playing their first UK gig next week... which could be interesting. It's clear that So Me wasn't roped in to design the flyer though!
Could there be another band with a worse but also tropical sounding name? Why yes... how about Desmond and the Tutus. Yep that's pretty bad.
This wasn't exactly what I was expecting from a release on Tiger Sushi records, and in fact on first impressions I thought it was quite bad... but like a Black Mamba from their home country, it slithered up on me and sunk it's fangs into my buttocks. I guess this is evidence of the Afrobeat influence that I hear is infecting indie music these days?
DESMOND AND THE TUTUS - KISS YOU ON THE CHEEK
If you're at a loose end on Friday could I heartily recommend a trip to Adventures Close to Home's new home in Shoreditch. I'm djing, and Alex & Will will be buying fancy cocktails for every single person who comes.**
**this may not be true, but there's no harm in asking..!
