THE BRIGHTS Our Teenage Years (2012)

Step one...:

Post the link to the download of "Our Teenage Years"...

Download here!

Recorded over the Spring of 2012 in rural Essex, the band collaborate once more with producer

Fraser Smith (Shed 7, Ian Brown), adding textures reminiscent of The Byrds, Shack and Teenage Fanclub, among others. Full Colour Sound is released on LemonpopRecords in the UK and Rimeout Recordings in Japan.

If you are a follower of THIS IS INDIE you will most likely already be a fan of THE BRIGHTS.
"Our Teenage Years" starts with a SMITHS-like guitar intro (which is of course meant as a compliment) and immediately finds its way to the typically BRIGHTS sound, very much characterized by David's unique voice. Very jangly, very catchy...

Support them!
Buy their stuff!!!

Remember: Full album stream link on THIS IS INDIE 15.Oct'12!

LOVE AND MONEY The Devil's Debt - Delivered!

It has been delivered yesterday.

How satisfying it must be to record and release such a wonderful album.

When I first listened to it it felt like a soft cushion of sound. A long forgotten feeling.

(All you need is LOVE AND MONEY! How true!)

GRACE JONES Island Life (1985)

 

A very innovative piece of art.

GRACE JONES made me become aware of other stuff than punk and wave. It kind of opened my mind and my heart concerning different styles of music.

The coverart is incredible.

LOVE AND MONEY The Devils Debt (Pre-Order Now!)

 

LOVE & MONEY

After their triumphant sell out shows at Scotland's Celtic Connections and The SECC in Glasgow and a handful of shows throughout Britain Love & Money now felt the time was right to revisit a forgotten element of their past..

The Mother's Boy was an ambitious double album which for various reasons was abandoned, with some of the songs surfacing on the classic Dogs In The Traffic.

The band have re-recorded some of these songs, which, allied to some completely new songs has resulted in their first album for 20 years..THE DEVIL'S DEBT.

Put simply; this is classic Love & Money.

Featuring the elements which they became renowned for;

Pristine production; learned from the masters the band worked with - Tom Dowd and Gary Katz..soaring vocals, guitars and strings and the impeccable lyricism of writer James Grant.

Both statuesque and guilefully catchy, this is the essence of Love And Money..2012
