Label: Chemikal Underground Release date: 28/02/11 Link: Myspace Buy: Amazon There was once a brief argument in the comments section of a review I wrote in which I described the Union Chapel as twee. One particular gentlemen took much offence at this suggestion, insisting that the Union Chapel was not twee and damming me for besmirching its honour. Naturally, he was wrong. The Union Chapel (a lovely place) is twee, but there is nothing wrong [...]

With the recent release of the band’s second album ‘Propeller Versus Wings’, Zoey Van Goey’s Michael John McCarthy talk us through their recent line-up additions, how Glasgow became the epicenter of their multicultural musical backgrounds and why they may resort to writing songs for Kylie Minogue and Justin Bieber...

Earlier this week, Zoey Van Goey released Propeller Versus Wings , a perfectly charming record of boy-girl pop sure to find favor with fans of Belle & Sebastian, Allo Darlin and Magnetic Fields. Formed in Glasgow in 2006, the band's self-released debut, 2009's The Cage Was Unlocked , found the unlikely ears of Lou Reed (who featured them on his radio show) and lead to the band signing with venerable Chemikal Underground in 2010.
