VANILLA SWINGERS
vanilla swingers
Release Date: 05/08/2008
time travel-themed conceptual debut album from noir pop duo who have attracted comparisons to black box recorder and magnetic fields. produced by saint etienne mainstay ian catt and mastered by kramer, several bloggers have already named it as one of their favourite albums of 2008. lyrically inspired by philosopher john gray's unflinching masterpiece, 'straw dogs', vanilla swingers' music ranges in style from the pet shop boys-inflected 'danger in the past' to the freeform prog-pop of 'the hive'. stated influences include blonde redhead, dexys and dollar. johny brown (band of holy joy) also contributes lyrics and vocals on one song. how does it feel to be loved described it as 'a polished, tortured slab of 21st century melodrama'. limited cd (1000 only).
