THE BRIGHTS Full Colour Sound (2012) Full Album Stream

Sorry, something went wrong yesterday with the post.

One day delay...

This is the album in its entirety:

THE BRIGHTS - Full Colour Sound (Stream)

If it wasn't fall in my part of the earth I would call the album "summer pop", perfectly suitable for a beach party BUT, then again, if you live on the opposite site of the earth, this might actually be fitting!!!

So stop searching for the right music for your next party at Great Barrier Reef...

Jangle pop at its finest! And I really love the voice!!!

The difficult second album...? This one matured in a LEMON POP cask. Brilliant! One step further!!!

The opener "Don't Look Back" starts with a touch of The Lightning Seeds and of course some Pale Fountains (Trumpets) again.

"Against The Wall (Into The Wind)" - wonderful bitter sweet pop

"Grace Under Fire" - some Teenage Fanclub / Pearlfishers / Lloyd Cole meet The Smiths

Check them yourselves! It's worth every minute...

THE BRIGHTS are unique. Of course you will always get a glimpse of the bands they are influenced by but they are definitely their own kind.

Buy the album!!!!

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.

Thank you LOVE AND MONEY!

(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.
