| Post subject: | Slow Down Tallahassee album "Curly Cuh" Pre Order |
Spam time, chaps. Slow Down Tallahassee "Curly Cuh" CD/Download Slow Down Tallahassee are Sheffield trio Nicola Coleman, Richard Butterworth and Claire Hill. But Slow Down Tallahassee have decided to split up! Consequently, their second album is both metaphorically and literally a goodbye. Reflecting on the inevitable loss of innocence, the hazardous emotions and the finite nature of our fragile lives “Curly Cuh” continues Slow Down Tallahassee’s knack for dark lyrical imagery wrapped in the catchiest pop. To quote the deceptively energetic song ‘Saturday’: "I’d laugh and play all day, long before us, and the mess we made. The all at once there’s God and Love and someone sews my eyelids shut…" As Nicola from the band says: “Lyrically this is our death album; we couldn't have gone anywhere else after ‘Saturday’, so it makes a kind of artistic sense to us that it is released posthumously.” "Curly Cuh” comes three years on from their well-received debut album “The Beautiful Light”: "Album of the week. Every track is excellent." Huw Stephens, BBC Radio1 "I'll be playing more from this great album." Gideon Coe, BBC 6Music "Sod the thesauruses, this is just f**king great." Sounds XP "My radio sweethearts from Sheffield finally release a full-length. I am ready to swoon." Everett True "The Beautiful Light has been stuck in my head since the very first time I heard it" Skatterbrain "A wonderful blast of pop brilliance" Unpopular Tracklisting: 1. Angel Of Death 2. Saturday 3. Curly Cuh 4. No More Pain 5. Knees As Sweet As These 6. She's So Serious 7. Chemicals 8. Scarlet Mascara 9. Winter Comes Around 10. Tricks 11. Under The Silver Stars Of Love 12.

Bloody hell, Darren. Is that on your label? Almighty poop for you if they are splitting up as we know from SXP how difficult it is to push summat by a band (no matter how good) if they don't exist any more. |

Aye, well they found it pretty hard to do any gigs over the last couple of years, so they decided to pack it in. To be fair, they hardly did any gigs for the first album and we still managed to shift loads, so I think it'll do OK. |

The new Slow Down Tallahassee album "Curly Cuh" is out now! Order CD with immediate digital download from http://www.theespc.com Slow Down Tallahassee are Sheffield trio Nicola Coleman, Richard Butterworth and Claire Hill. But Slow Down Tallahassee have decided to split up! Consequently, their second album is both metaphorically and literally a goodbye. Reflecting on the inevitable loss of innocence, the hazardous emotions and the finite nature of our fragile lives “Curly Cuh” continues Slow Down Tallahassee’s knack for dark lyrical imagery wrapped in the catchiest pop. To quote the deceptively energetic song ‘Saturday’: "I’d laugh and play all day, long before us, and the mess we made. The all at once there’s God and Love and someone sews my eyelids shut…" As Nicola from the band says: “Lyrically this is our death album; we couldn't have gone anywhere else after ‘Saturday’, so it makes a kind of artistic sense to us that it is released posthumously.” Reviews: "A second terrific album...you can be pretty certain already that this is so much better than loads that will be lauded as the new greatest thing over the next few months." Sounds XP "If The Beautiful Light was snotty, knowing pop at its best, then 'Curly Cuh' is its world-weary, cleverer, more downcast older sister....they've left a mighty, mighty epitaph." A Layer Of Chips "The juxtaposition of great pop melodies mixed with really quite twisted lyrics keep it interesting and edgy and yet somehow still beautiful. With an album where every track is as strong as the next it’s difficult to pick out favourites. ‘Curly Cuh’ is one hell of a way to bow out." Punk Rock Ist Nicht Tot "Once again they demonstrate their uncanny ability to wrap dark, frank lyrics in a sweet, infectious pop confection. It’s an album that deals with sticky fingered love, kitchen sink heartbreak, missed opportunities and ultimately death. As a musical epitaph I’d say it’s pretty damn perfect." The Von Pip Musical Express "Girl group harmonies plus burbling synths and classic hook-laden pop undercut by wantonly dark and frank lyrical content. Something about it feels more isolated and lonelier even as Claire and Nicola pledge allegiance to companionship for ever, plausibly in memorial. A fitting epitath." Sweeping The Nation CD also available from: Rough Trade, London Piccadilly, Manchester Jumbo, Leeds Record Collector, Sheffield Norman Records, Online Pebble Records, Online Vollwert Records, Germany Jigsaw Records, USA The Stone Records, Japan Sone Records, Japan Apple Crumble, Japan Disk Union, Japan IMPO, Taiwan Download available from: All the usual download stores: iTunes, eMusic, 7Digital, AmazonMP3, etc. |
