SAD LOVERS AND GIANTS Epic Garden Music (1982)

Here you have the first album of SAD LOVERS & GIANTS from 1982.

It's brilliant and although it's more than 35 years old it absolutely stood the test of time.

The sound is still stile-forming and up to date.

The band still exists. They didn't release a record for decades but still perform live.

This month will witness the release of a documentary about ANNE CLARK called "I'll Walk Out Into Tomorrow" on 28th January.
I bet there are some out there who will go and watch with me... Somewhere out there...

CURIOSITY Hang On In There Baby (1992)

Another one off topic. CURIOSITY f.k.a. CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT with a brilliant cover version of Johnny Bristol's "Hang On In There Baby".
I like both versions but CURIOSITY did a fuckin' good job here. Probably their best single, even I really like their first long player. (To be posted here as well one day.)

JOHNNY HATES JAZZ Turn Back The Clock (1987)

 

 

OK, a bit off topic, as this is NOT INDIE at all... It's simply wonderful mainstream pop and made my days back in the 80s.

I still love the singles and my preferred local radio station plays them frequently - just like a few minutes ago.

CHILDHOOD Universal High (2017)

Today I stumbled over CHILDHOOD by pure accident and it got me in a minute.
Good god... The voice reminds me of young Paddy McAloon, the music is in parts as well Prefab Sprout, The Dream Academy and Funk influenced Northern Soul.
I hear Paul Weller, Lenny Kravitz, The James Taylor Quartet... Brilliant!

"Universal High" is the second long player from the boys from Nottingham and I just mailed them to get their permission to offer something as a download. So stay tuned.
I will keep you updated here.

ANDY PAWLAK Sasquatches And Synthesizers (2017)

ANDY PAWLAK finished his new album and it will be available as a download on
iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and other download services from
1st December 2017!!!
Buy it here!!!!!
It's influenced by Ólafur Arnalds and Nils Frahm.

There is a YouTube channel to promote the album here.

Check Andy's website here.

I know, a lot of you waited very patiently and now it's time for your reward.
I already wrote a bit about the album in an earlier post.
The album is calm and very emotional. Stories being told and full of love.
I took the cover picture in February this year. No photo shopping or else. Just cropping and labeling. The colours are like the cold winter morning actually was.
