Blind Terry Genre: Pure Pop Stockholm, Sweden This afternoon I stumbled upon Stockholm's Blind Terry and their uplifting brand of cheerily intelligent indie pop and I've had a smile on my face ever since. Blind Terry specialise in bittersweet piano driven pop that has echoes of Prefab Sprout (one of their tracks is even called [...]

A couple old faves from their debut LP along with the corresponding demos. If you like the Prefabs, I think you'll find these demos pretty interesting.

Prefab Sprout - Goodbye Lucille #1 Steve McQueen by Prefab Sprout and Rattlesnakes by Lloyd Cole and The Commotions: two of the drabbest album covers ever made. Side-by-side, you can immediately tell when both of them came from - the mid-80s, the most tasteless part of the so-called Decade That Taste Forgot. And yet, for students everywhere these two records were, aside from the holy trinity of the Smiths, New Order and the Bunnymen, part [...]
Move Zig Genre: Uncategorisable From: Brighton, United Kingdom It has taken some time for the Devil to pen (type??) a review of the demo from the strangely named Move Zig (from the classic Japanese shoot'em up Zero Wing which, according to my my well thumbed copy of the Urban Dictionary [...]

Back in the 80's before the word 'indie pop' made any sense, there was an English band that actually possessed all the qualities of that very genre. Oddly named Prefab Sprout fronted by Paddy McAloon produced a couple of clever, elegant and delightfully awkward pop albums in the middle of that period. Probably the best of them, ´85's 'Steve McQueen' , has just been released in a remastered edition including a bonus cd of new acoustic versions of the songs. Like most indie music this album didn't create a lot of havoc on [...]
I can't wait another five years to post this kinda lovely, kinda weird track from Prefab Sprout who were once my favourite group. "She tastes of apple strudel, you can tell she does". The lyric then goes on to be rather prophetic as Chris Winn's comment on the bottom of this Telegraph article highlights. It's from Prefab Sprout's "lost" album Protest Songs. Dublin from the same album is also [...]

Having already looked at a couple of 90s compilations this week, I thought I would take the advice of the wonderful Kylie Minogue and Step Back In Time. So here’s some thoughts on Generation 80s : Classics from the 80s Alternative Scene. This particular CD came out as recently as 2002, and is probably still available in a few record shops. It’s one of my favourite compilations, although the
I haven't posted anything recently because I haven't felt that excited about anything I've heard. I like the new Arcade Fire album, Neon Bible , a lot, but so much has been written about the band and the album, both online and in the mainstream press, that there hasn't been much to say. (Although I found it interesting that Win Butler went to Exeter, the prep school I attended, for better and worse, in the '60's. Exeter was where I was first exposed to a lot of great music, everything from the Seeds to John Mayall to Jimi [...]
I’m sorry for making you wait, but there is reasons for our inconsistency. Stefan is abroad, in a country where they have no electricity or infrastructure and Darryl is in Malmö/Copenhagen and I’m mostly busy in school. At last, Prefab Sprout with a song from their album "from Langley Park to Memphis ". It was released 1988 and sold a lot of records in England that year. They made it to the top-fivelist for albums in UK that [...]
