Sinister: Heavenly Denim
Hello peeps People have been talking about Heavenly & Go-Kart Mozart, so I thought I'd write a bit about them, in case it's helpful for anyone: Heavenly formed out of remains of Talulah Gosh, who have fairly recently released a compilation of just about everything they recorded, called Backwash. All Heavenly LPs are now available, except Heavenly vs Satan, but aren't stocked in most record shops. Heavenly split after Mathew died, but after a while, the rest of the band got back together to form Marine Research, who should be releasing their second album soon, hopefully. Amelia sings backing vocals on the new Hefner album, and Cathy is a TV producer and also presents Scrapheap Challenge! After Felt, Lawrence formed Denim before being Go-Kart Mozart. Denim's first album, Back In Denim, was an excellent, slightly comical, retro 70s glam rock style record, as was the second, On Ice. Then Lawrence got bored and released Novelty Rock, an experimental novelty comedy rock record which sounds like a collection of cheesy advert jingles. Reviews of Go-Kart Mozart's album suggested that it was also in this style, so I gave up on Lawrence, although I've heard rumours that he's going to return to his Felt style and release an album on Alan McGee's new Poptones Internet label. Oh, and I hope B&S release something soon too.
