The Underground of Happiness

A great heartwarming sound that harks back to the likes of Martin Stephenson & The Daintees from another era. Blue-eyed soulful vocals, jangly guitars, songwriting worn authentically on the sleeve. From the upcoming album We don't know where we are , which we will certainly be mentioning here again.

Another great cut from the Sabina album to open the show this wk, can't get enough of that (check the review of the album under posts on the right). Just as good is the new single from (Merrill) Tune Yards (Garbus, pic), working eco-politics into a clapping song. Genius. On the Sabina theme, we took a detour into some other European female singers, via Marlene Dietrich and Nico , deadpan shades of both of whom you can hear on Sabina's album. Also the sultrier, sax-smothered side of Polar Bear , the wonderfully atmospheric, stalking electro of UMA , The War on Drugs with fantastic krauty pop grooves. New slanty guitar shapes from Young Knives . And something beautiful and jangly from Theatre Royal , a band from Rochester in Kent. More on these pages as ever.
