| Post subject: | Oct 29th - HEADLIGHTS (Polyvinyl Records) + The Postcards |
At the WINDMILL!!! Ian from How Does It Feel To Be Loved? is DJ-ing too HEADLIGHTS (Champaign, IL/Polyvinyl Records) Truly amazing US indie pop-rock trio stopping off to promote their latest album, 'Some Racing, Some Stopping' steeped in a classic pop sensibility reminiscent of the '60s Brill Building song craft, and Phil Spector production. DON'T MISS! the ambitious trio skip right past wimphood and create a melodic world of deliciously messy guitars, synthesizers, and piano. - Spin ...confident, catchy indie-pop loveliness... NME (8/10) Headlights offer a shoegazer paradise , strolling through beautiful orchestral movements... - Rocksound (8/10) ...boy-girl vocals sit atop a Spector-sized wall of sound... - Uncut **** www.myspace.com/headlights THE POSTCARDS (London) South London four-piece The Postcards make a welcome return the Windmill. Featuring a new line up that got rave reviews at their first gig earlier in the month, the band promise a fast and fun set - whizzing through short, sharp blasts of bittersweet guitar-pop, only pausing to mop their brow and say hello. Those longing for, and dare I say missing, your quota of jangling bitter sweet cutely turned pop, may do well to retune your radars for this natty little treat Losing Today www.myspace.com/thepostcards DAVE HOUSE (Kingston) ..has been hiding in the UK indie / punk underground for over a decade. Now with two solo albums, 'Kingston's Current' (2004) & 'See That No One Else Escapes' (2007), he produces some of the best powepoppunk you;re likely to hear on this isle. a wry eye for a lyric... the tracks I've listened to are all belters... moments of softness, moments of hardcore splendour... a very, very good album indeed - Phill Jupitus, BBC 6 Music www.myspace.com/davehouse |
