Gabby Young and Other Animals

We're All In This Together
Gift Of The Gab

Gabby Young a classically trained and from Wiltshire is backed by her 8-piece band Other Animals covers a wide gamut of the musical genre. As they successfully combine pop, folk, and indie pop laced with succulent jazz flavours. ‘Whose House’ for one has not produces a varied sound as a carnival-esque feel is added to the usual hustle and bustle, complete with rousing harmony vocals to go with her expansive vocal tones.

Ben TDLeaves Lo
Five Records

Australian-born Ben is a natural singer-songwriter talent. After touring with the band Ruby’s grace, alongside his brother Sam and making two albums and two EPs down in he moved to Glasgow in 2006 and has been there ever since. In some ways he reminds me of Scottish act James Grant, only thing the young Ben is easier to listen to, and through his intimate production and gliding vocals breaks down barriers others don’t.

Wonderful easy on the ear pop folk that enjoy engaging qualities that border on addiction make you want to check out the album from which the single hails.

Strange Glory
Brille Records

Lucas Renney - Strange GloryLucas Renney, former frontman of XL signed Sunderland pop band The Golden Virgins has recently released a solo LP on Brille records, home to The Knife and Envelopes amongst others. Strange Glory is out now on CD and all digital formats. The album was produced by former Cocteau Twin and now Bella Union boss Simon Raymonde and features various members of Midlake alongside Stephanie Dosen on backing vocals and orchestral arrangements by Fiona Brice.

The album is very melodic, memorable and beautifully arranged, the songs poetic and reflective, with an autumnal feel to them. The album is reminiscent of Richard Hawley and Elvis Costello at their best and on the whole comparable to a classic from Will Oldham or Leonard Cohen. To listen to a selection of tracks and find out about forthcoming live shows, go to Lucas' Myspace.

Katsen are Chris Blackburn and Donna Grimaldi.I have just discovered the Brighton electro pop duo and they are a great new musical find.Like their contempories,Trademark,Marsheaux, and Trademark they do a neat line in future pop.In the current climate of La Roux and Little Boots,electro pop is now in vogue and Katsen should be a cult hit in electro circles.They make you dance and move in a future retro way.They even throw in covers of Cactus by The Pixies and In love with a german filmstar by The Passions which is surprisingly good as its an untouchable classic.My favourite though has to be island in an Island which is a malfunctioning spectrum classic.Search out and find Katsen,their futuro pop is the cure for post summer blues.
