★ Hong Kong In The 60s ★
http://hongkonginthe60s.com/
Hong Kong In The 60s are a multilingual London three-piece who formed in 2007 and are influenced by early electronic pop, 1960s Chinese music and Italian film soundtracks. Using their collection of old Casio keyboards, the group combine bittersweet pop melodies and atmospheric electronics to create what Sean O’Hagan of The High Llamas describes as a “lovely, understated and quite beautiful sound”.
"even at its most gently experimental, the album can’t help delivering exquisite melodies" - UNCUT
"Using a motley array of vintage synthesizers and drum machines, they craft self-effacing, discreet pop songs that unfold in a sepia haze" - eMusic/17 Dots
"A dazzling array of styles and skills, diverse and satisfying, literate and ultimately highly listenable" - Bearded Magazine
★ The Rosie Taylor Project ★
http://therosietaylorproject.blogspot.com/
The Rosie Taylor Project came together in a redbrick Victorian shambles in Leeds. A modest beginning, with practices spent squished into a small living room, things soon took on a more disciplined hue when, after a handful of gigs, they signed to Bad Sneakers Records.
Having recently returned to the studio with Richard Formby (Wild Beasts, Herman Dune) and a second album 'Twin Beds' has emerged, and new single 'Sleep' will be self-released on 13 June.
“…the kind of record that you immediately like”
– Drowned in Sound
“The Rosie Taylor Project - playful... bashful... soulful...never woeful...WONDERFUL!"
– Marc Riley, BBC 6 Music
"simply a stunning piece of work. Melancholic, delicate, beautiful - the list of superlatives could stretch on but it would be entirely superfluous. And that would be the polar opposite of this record"
