Some press stuff

"It Was Summer" is on this issue's cover CD on Is This Music? magazine. Meanwhile, here's some things we found on the net, first from Unpopular:

The three new 3” releases are by Electrum, Blind Cowboys and Monster Bobby; the former is the debut by an ultra special mysterious duo from Edinburgh (even though the mystery is blown a bit by a review which mentions Jamie and Caireen’s former band – who I have to admit I had not heard), whilst the latter two are solo outings by various members of the Pipettes (or strictly speaking The Cassettes). Monster Bobby is, erm, Monster Bobby doing his electro-acoustic no-fi thang, whilst Blind Cowboys are Jon Falcone and Tom White (yes, that Tom White, of Electric Soft Parade, the ESP whose debut I think I slated horribly in the first issue of Careless Talk, if I’m not mistaken…) doing their own country tinged urbane thang. Oh and Electrum, since you ask, do a brilliant post-shoegaze dreamPOP thing that pisses on anything else I ever thought of as dreampop, so maybe it isn’t dreampop at all, but rather something altogether more special and modern and captivatingly good. Don’t believe me? You can download sample tracks on the I Wish I Was Unpopular site, before spending your pennies.
Tangents

...and:
Another Edinburgian duo, Electrum, provide some actual musicianship, if that's your bag, to finish.
