Oh, oh, oh. I've been dying to recommend this album for the past two weeks but was brutally affraid people would think i was making stuff up in order to squandor your hard earned cash on something people have never heard of. BUT, I guess people do know of them so I shall heartily recommend it. Its a really hard album to lump into any set genre (file under easy listening?), so its a bit hard to find a context in which to put it in. It has some really beautiful sparse accoustic numbers filled with longing, love lost, love got, etc, as well as some sort of (don't make me say techno-ish) um... techno-ish (damn!) songs, but I say this in a very good way. Lots of violins and guitars and melody. It has a very good winter kind of feeling too it. The lead singer is male with a sort of um... irish i guess, kind of voice (does that make sense? he says "aout" for "out" hehe) and there is also a female who does some vocals. Pretty Pretty Pretty. Anyway, its by "catchers" and is titled "stooping to fit" and is out in the uk on setanta records. No US release has been worked out that I know of. -Kelly Ryan McGuire the not so indie rock critic +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list please mail "sinister@majordomo.net".
