The world to me – The Field Mice This is an odd Field Mice song but it’s not really. The synthy brass that was never before or again used by the Field Mice makes it so. While very of the time, it is just so bold, out of place, a stylised reminder of other bands, [...]

Starshy – Heavenly The warmest opening to an album ever. One chord at an ever-felicitous tempo, compressed to the blanketest of fidelities, and then it becomes a Heavenly song and even better. Here’s a picture of the biggest injoke in the world:

Below The Stars
Posted in Field Mice, sarah records on December 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Below the stars – The Field Mice This is the most bedroom song ever written, sending out private hope, private sentiment over some night sky to an other. Clunky lyrics, uninhibited fragility, unconstrained intimacy. An intense fawning in all other respects best left within, swelling and seeping out through song. Everything unsaid, withheld, everything past [...]
Carbrain
Posted in sarah records, Scottish bands, Wake on November 4, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
Carbrain – The Wake One of the bands who came to Sarah Records with an established history, coming to the label with a reputation, not having their reputation shaped by it. From them forming in 1981 to arriving at Sarah in 1989 they did some things and went places that look good on paper/internet, played [...]
Tell Me How It Feels

Tell me how it feels – The Sweetest Ache As simple, amateur, whiney and the apotheosis of twee this may seem (why am i defending it as being so?!), it’s deeply affecting. To me anyway. Knowing how someone feels, how they are, and the distances that can bridge, the peace it can bring. The painful, [...]
Between Hello And Goodbye

Between hello and goodbye – The Field Mice What a lovely song. Happiness and heartbreak, hello and goodbye – having a someone.
I Fell In Love Last Night

I fell in love last night – Heavenly I’m glad this song came up because it gives me a reason to finally change the mp3s i have of this single. For some reason both this and the b-side cut off around 3 minutes in. Perhaps it was a punishment, a revenge, dished out by the [...]
Peaches

Peaches – The Orchids YEEESSSSSSSSSS! Something else! To demonstrate that the Sarah bands were not immune to ambition and the climate of music they existed in but separately to. This song could have been a hit. Sarah weren’t about to release an album track as a single, so maybe that’s the reason why it was [...]
What’s Happened?

What’s happened? – Another Sunny Day I just happened to receive this record in the mail this morning, so it was with some prescience that i woke up with the title song in my head. Maybe it was me bringing it to existence in today’s delivery through hope, desperation. It had been a while. Anyway, [...]
