Es ist doch immer wieder schön, wenn ich E-Mails von jungen Bands erhalte, die Musik machen, die mir bis dato unbekannt war, mich aber dennoch sehr anspricht. Vanilla Swingers aus England sind so eine Band - das Duo hat ihr Debütalbum im Kasten (Erscheinungstermin: 28. Juli) und dürfte damit allen, die auf ruhige, etwas vertrackte Gitarrenmusik stehen, ein kleines Juwel an die Hand geben. Fragile Akustikparts wechseln sich ab mit Gesangspassagen des Sänger Miles Jackson und seiner Partnerin Anne Gilpin. Mehr als nur einmal muss ich dabei an die etwas sperrigen, aber schönen Songs [...]
Weeding through emails and press releases can, at times, be tedious and tiresome. That is, until you stumble upon something you immediately know has potential to be amazing. This is the type of experience I recently had when I clicked on an email about a band from the United Kingdom donning the moniker, Vanilla Swingers . Perplexed by the name, which turns out to be influenced by the book Straw Dogs by John Gray, I hurried to over to their [...]
More electronic goodness from the excellently named James Pants with Ka$h . Because the Ox loves the Vanilla Swingers so much, here are two more great songs from their first upcoming LP: Danger In The Past and I'll Stay Next To You . The Black Diamond Heavies have a case of the deep soulful blues with Bidin' My Time . Cloetta Paris can show [...]
I am so glad that I don't have to do job interviews anymore. It's not as much the dressing up, the painstaking selling of oneself, and the necessary exuberating affability than the questions. The questions. The endless barrage of self-answering questions which you're supposed to shift and shape into the perfect "I figure this is what you want to hear" response to make your potential employer believe you're in for it more than the money, even though he knows damn well you're just in it for the money. But the worst, the single [...]
Vanilla Swingers sent in a few tracks. Here's a quote from the band about their new album, "The album was recorded with Ian Catt (St Etienne, Stars) and mastered by Kramer (Galaxie 500, Low, Jeffrey Lewis). It tells the story of two people who run away to London together, go back in time, then [...]
Thought the Ting Tings were this years underground success story? Well then you've probably haven't peered into the very near future and witnessed what Vanilla Swingers are about to achieve. With their debut release and first live performance both happening next month now might be the time to start dropping their name in front of impressionable friends. Believe me by the end of the summer you'll
My body clock is playing funny tricks on me today. I think it's gotten all confused because of the clocks springing forward. So if it's not bad enough that I carelessly 'lost' an hour somewhere during the night (probably down the side of the bed) , I awoke far too early this morning at half 7. Or should that be half 8. I'm not sure. That'll teach me to change some of the clocks in the flat and not others. Anyway, I find myself wide awake, sat at my computer, wandering aimlessly around the far [...]
This hit my inbox about a week ago. I took a listen and was intrigued, so I got in touch with Miles from the project. It's a conceptual thing, and I didnt quite know what to make of the whole idea, but I like it. I will share with you what Miles had to say, then be sure to check them out and let me know what you all think!! "Well, the album was inspired partly by the book 'Straw Dogs' by John Gray. So lyrically, besides the story, you might say it's about the [...]
While a number of obligations have kept us away for a few days, we've continued our listening duties and have another good one to share with you today. Since it will be raining all weekend here in the Queen City, the intro and steady, low key tone of today's featured track works well enough with our misty window view out over the Ohio River. Vanilla Swingers, a London, UK based duo of Anne &
