French Kissing In The Uk

French Kissing
From: London, United Kingdom

Something is stirring deep in the bowels of the UK's capital city. A musical underground sick of over produced, x factorised, pro-tools enhanced artificiality is casting around for purer more organic forms of music to satisfy their jaded souls. It'd over stating the case to argue that this represents a new pure musical movement and it could easily fizzle away like so many other short lived scenes. However maybe, just maybe, it's the start of the next revolution.

After the fuzzy lo-fi splendours of last night's featured band Mazes tonight's post features the even lower-fi surf popsters French Kissing. It's so lo-fi it's no-fi. Check out their cover of 'Beach Ball' an obscure track from The City Surfers first recorded in the year of the Devil's birth. It sounds like Da Do Ron Ron Ron recorded in a garage on tin cans and to these ears that's perfection.

In the battle between pro-tools and no-tools I know which side I'm on how about you?

Mazes

From: London, United Kingdom

Mazes, who formed in early 2009 in Manchester, are the latest signings to the impressive FatCat roster. They deal in fantastically fuzzy slacker pop that get's under your skin and into your bloodstream with more hooks than a Peter Pan convention.
