The Underground of Happiness

The Fiction Aisle is a band you'll be hearing plenty about round here over the next while. It's Thomas White , ex Electric Soft Parade , of Brighton and he makes gorgeous but intriguing and often unsettling orchestral pop music. On this week's show we had his cover of a Camera Obscura tune which finds some kind of ambient rush that the original cunningly hid. Straight after was Camera Obscura themselves, always good to be reminded of their broken pop genius. Vinyl Williams with some great magic carpet cosmic soul. Lawrence Arabia plying a lovely late Beatles fed through post punk sound. Lake Ruth , on the baroque end of psych pop, great stuff. And August Wells , currently on tour over here, compelling bruised soul. More on these pages.

The new Titus Andronicus tune is a tour de force of controlled fury, shout singing brought to new levels of insight and intelligence. Essential. John Cale with a great memory from 1974, chaos nagging at the edges of sweet melody. And Courtney Barnett giving a great litany of modern day lameness. The beautiful mariachi touch of Jon DeRosa ; the gorgeous pedal steel sweep of Tandem Felix ; the lush soul of Laetitia Sadier and the soulful psych of Vinyl Williams . The compelling psych drift of Todd Tobias and Death & Vanilla making glorious psych pop. More on the blog.
