TRACKS OF THE WEEK 13/07/15 - Sleaford Mods, Widowspeak

Only two tracks this week! A beauty and a beast!

Flycasual:-

Widowspeak - 'All Yours' (2015)

Ex's are a tricky subject, particularly tedious when you're wandering around town or listening to old albums and everything reminds you of them, crap ain't it. But this is a gorgeous song which covers said subject and at least makes you feel like you're walking around in velvet pants whilst doing it. 'All Yours' is taken from the Brooklyn duo's latest album of the same name, which was out last month. Check out our guest post concert review from Emma back in 2011, here.

Old Pa's Corner :-

Sleaford Mods - Tarantula Deadly Cargo (2015)

Fresh from their success at this year's Glastonbury, here is a track from the Sleaford Mods new album Key Markets. Flycasual introduced me to these guys last year and I was quite taken with there fresh attitude and original lyrics. Still trying to work out what the guy in the beard is meant to be doing but maybe that is the answer. Brilliant backing here too.

Looking forward to the album and I am just going to watch their set at Glastonbury right now.

Is your New Year's Resolution to go to more live gigs? Well Emma, 'our girl in the field' gig review officiando will tell you what you are missing!

Widowspeak at Zigrid Von Underbelly Hoxton 29.11.11

In the bowels of the eclectic Zigfrid Von Underbelly I discovered the Brooklyn indie band Widowspeak, I had only heard their cover of Chris Issac’s Wicked Game before this chance encounter in Hoxton.

Their style although described as indie reminds me of soft California, beaches and road trips. It’s the kind stuff you might imagine in a really cool independent flick and I don’t mean that in a bad way. Ambient and transient vocals blended with American 60s nostalgia tends to woo me and I was pleasantly surprised with their live performance.

With such a sombre introduction it’s often difficult to hold an audience but Widowspeak managed to do just that. There wasn’t much interaction with the audience but that was okay, we happily stood there taking in the sound. ZVU isn’t the easiest venue but the sound engineer was spot on and after they managed to get in one last song at the spectators’ requests I was left relaxed and content.

I’d definitely catch them again and I think they are one to watch.

And I like them, no frills speak volumes in this day and age.

They suit their style and the do it very well.

Not for lovers of a heavy sound, but more for the dreamers and thinkers.
