Just A Silhouette - Ex Lovers What an absolute wonder of a song! It's the sort of track that you have to listen to over and over because it just makes you feel so damn happy to hear that little guitar line. And don't even get me started on the interlude - which feels as unhurried and carefree as anything I've heard in years. This is every song from Sarah Records, filtered through the memories of every 80s band that should've made it big but no one ever knew about. Hearing something [...]

Last night I saw Friendly Fires at the HMV Picture House and it was a riot. I was down the front (where else?) and came out drenched. The crowd were really up for it. Only disappointing thng was how long they played for (50mins). Boo. Listen: Friendly Fires - Ex Lover [...]

Purée, le printemps est là... Le soleil se pose sur ma peau et lui donne un teint hâlé qui va bientôt faire craquer les filles (même les moches)... Ma factrice m'a souri ce matin... Elle en a profité pour me donner le maillot du psg -floqué "Makélélé" et dédicacé par lui-même- que j'attendais... En plus, c'est du "M" et je rentre quand même dedans... Mon placard est plein d'oeufs en chocolat... Le vent doux et iodé fouette mes cheveux et décoiffe mes narines... Je viens de manger une purée de pommes de terre préparée par ExCd... J'écris ce post en [...]
The bands debut single only a few months old they return with a brand new double a-side set. The band continue the formula that got them to be darlings in m eyes last year. The jangly/twee guitars with the dueling soft boy/girl vocals melt my heart every time out. Jimmy Robertson is on the production [...]

Hi, Good news I guess; John found an awesome place in New Farm and it looks like he's going to move in. A couple of weeks from now my buddy's going to be my ex-housemate and I'll be flying solo again. He's really excited about it, he hasn't been in such high spirits since before the break-up. It's good, it's a good thing, but I can't help but feel a little down; I don't really want to be alone in this apartment again. Tomorrow, or more accurately, in twenty-three minutes time it will be [...]

exlovers are due to have a big 09 with their debut album have sneaked out a single just before the end of the year to brighten up are winter. "Just A Silhouette" is the bands first single proper and it is being produced by Jimmy Robertson. The track is a delightful little pop song for the winter with the boy-girl harmonies that never miss a beat. If we combine them the vocals that sound a little like Elliot Smith at times you have a warming and winning combination. The only problem with the track is that it ends to soon. [...]
