Yesterday was St Andrews Day. Yesterday i was too busy getting drunk to do this post. Today i'm too hungover to make a serious attempt at one and do it justice so instead i'll just post some random stuff. Some really good Scottish music of all varieties and sounds will do for a start. Some famous ones, some semi famous ones, some lesser known ones..... MP3: Frightened Rabbit - The Loneliness MP3: The Beta [...]

Sparky himself has described it as a documentation of the fallout of a relationship and, as Noah & the Whale's 'First days of spring' has shown, it's rich ground for songwriting. The two records share another quality in the scale of their efforts. But whereas Charlie Fink's band have taken to being orchestral, Robert 'Deathcap' Taylor makes its own way down the tricky path. The closest comparison that comes to mind is that of 'We Have Sound'. Enigmatic, mercurial but ultimately a musical genius, 'Tear Jerky' has shades of Vek all over it, whether purposefully or not, as it mixes [...]
Sparky Deathcap is a one man creation by Robert Taylor. He's just released a beaut EP called 'Tear Jerky'. The release emalgamates a few different sounds, which bodes well. The track below features Brian Wilson vocal harmonies, mixed with Final Fantasy. The Mancunian has also made some awesome tracks, including a Microphones-esque acoustic beauty called 'Berlin Syndrome'. The best track is 'Send It To Oslo' which sounds like Polyphonic Spree mixed with TV on The Radio or something. All in all, this is a fucking great EP and well worth the five or six quid it's on sale for. [...]
Sparky Deathcap fut sur les Délices du Moi de Janvier dernier, révisons donc un peu. S'agit de lancer quelques claviers dans les airs, après les avoir couverts de peinture, pour que ça fasse plus joli, taper dans ses mains, remuer son popotin jusqu'à faire craquer les coutures du jean, le tout en pleine rue, histoire de réveiller les voisins... Sparky Deathcap has been on DS' compilation in january, let's revise. We're gonna throw some keyboards in the air, after we covered it with paint, it looks so nice, clap our hands, move [...]

Sparky Deathcap è il progetto di Robert Taylor, un giovanissimo cartoonist ed artista proveniente da Manchester. Grande fan di Daniel Johnston, della cui band dal vivo ha fatto anche parte, Robert impara a suonare a 13 anni e registra i propri brani su cassette, che poi regala ai compagni di scuola. Trasferitosi a York per studiare letteratura inglese all'università, Robert inizia ad esibirsi dal vivo come Sparky Deathcap. Egli spiega così la scelta del nome d'arte: "Sparky era il nome che avevo dato alla mia bicicletta e Deathcap mi sembrava un bel cognome gotico, con vaghe connotazione psichedeliche e [...]
