The VPME Well it's been a long time coming but finally VPME fave's The Good Natured's début album is set to drop. It's called 'Prisim' and is apparently "based around the idea of the prism being my heart; each emotion I feel makes up a different colour in the prism" explains vocalist Sarah McIntosh. A rather lovely poetic idea but one that perhaps wouldn't perhaps work for us, after all the only colour you'd be able to perceive is BLACK! The band are offering live favourite [...]
The VPME We wouldn't just break off from doing our tips for 2013 for just anybody you know. But at the end of 2010 we listed who we hoped would be big in 2011 , and top of the pile was the wonderful The Good Natured . They've since signed a major label deal and then went to ground spending much of the last year or so working on songs for their début, emerging only to work with electro-pop legend Vince Clark from Depeche Mode for the throbbing collaboration that was ‘Ghost Train’ Now after [...]

Photos by G. Sarah McIntosh of The Good Natured Hot band alert! The UK electropop band The Good Natured visited New York's Mercury Lounge on January 15, 2012. I'd never heard any of their music until they took the stage and I liked every song I heard tonight in their 8 song set. Their music is upbeat and has a great groove. Lead singer Sarah McIntosh's voice reminded me of bits of Ladytron and LaRoux. The audience was loving the show as well, especially when Sarah McIntosh performed in [...]

We thought it would be a rather fitting end to the year to wax lyrical once more about the band we tipped to do well in 2011. Yup, it’s Sarah, Hamish and George, known collectively as The Good Natured! We’ve followed them throughout the year, (and well before to be honest) with regular updates and have been delighted to see them really develop into something very special indeed. Before a recent headline show in Manchester we caught up with Sarah and the boys to reflect on just how 2011 has panned out for them. They’ve had quite a [...]

Adrian Lux's latest single " Alive " is little bit different than the typical Adrian Lux song, its a bit harder and features some electropop synths and the vocals from Sarah McIntosh from The Good Natured . Then BOOOM....transitions into one of the hardest boner producing drops you'll hear. <p&a mp;amp;amp;gt;&amp ;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt;p& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;&am p;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp; amp;lt;a href=" http://soundowl.com/track/1zxo /adrian-lux-ft-the-good-nature d-alive-extended-mix"& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt ;Download Adrian Lux ft The Good Natured Alive (Extended Mix)&a mp;amp;amp;lt;/a&a mp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;& ;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;l t;/p&a mp;amp;gt;< /p> Electronic dance music, House, Electro, Disco, Progressive, Tech, Dance, club banger,

' Skeleton' By The Good Natured. The Good Natured, our top tip for 2011 have recently signed to Regal / Parlophone Records , release a new EP on the 20th June 2011. Full of catchy dark Gothic Electro-Pop noir it will surely see them reach a wider audience. The Good Natured consists of Sarah McIntosh; the songwriter and front-woman; George on drums and her brother Hamish McIntosh on bass. The lead track 'Skeleton' i s about being stripped of [...]

Chegou a hora de você conhecer a sua mais nova obsessão britânica, o The Good Natured . A banda passou despercebida pelo meu radar em Outubro de 2010, quando deixei escapar seu primeiro clipe, mas felizmente retornou essa semana com um contrato em mãos com a Parlaphone Records (Gorillaz, Bat For Lashes, LCD Soundsystem) , e um novíssimo single. E que arrependimento. Não de escutá-los, mas sim de não ter postado sobre eles antes. Para começar, conheça Sarah McIntosh, uma londrina de apenas 20 anos que de cara já parece com Romy, a vocalista do The XX [...]

MP3 - The Good Natured "Wolves" (free download) A few weeks back we had our first encounter with rising U.K. electro-pop darling The Good Natured . After our post she signed a record deal with Regal/Parlophone Records in the UK ( Gorillaz , Bat for Lashes , LCD Soundsystem ) and now front woman Sarah McIntosh is, like, super rich. I mean c'mon she's giving her music away for free! "Wolves" is off Sarah's forthcoming Be My Animal EP , which due out on March 14. [...]

The Good Natured is the brain child of 20-year-old Sarah McIntosh , and though she's all sorts of muddy (?) she is starting to find a place in the jammed packed synth pop market. With growing YouTube numbers and her SXSW debut coming next month, The Good Natured may be just the group to satisfy those who love both Florence Welch and Lily Allen . She may even snag the odd emo kid who loves her Robert Smith hairdo. Her new Be My Animal EP is due on iTunes [...]
The Good Natured , hailing from Highclere, Berkshire in the UK. Sarah McIntosh describes her music as '... Electronic pop with a heart... .’ The Good Natured First-rate electro-pop strikes the lugubrious vocal of The Good Natured , generating a sound which demands attention. The up-tempo electronica doesn't mask the depth of feeling Sarah McIntosh, brings to [...]

Lots of Sarah McIntosh this week (check out her Sufjan cover here , or just scroll down the page). Remember how "Prisoner" was the free b-side to the "Be My Animal" single? Well, Be My Animal was released via KIDS November 1, as expected, and now it's available for free download. One thing I particularly enjoy about McIntosh's music is how it oozes passion - you can hear how much of herself she puts into the sound. Her world becomes the song's world, and we are the beneficiaries. It's pop meant for the [...]

Think I'll try and post a midweek download/song/video of the week, life permitting. Anyway to kick things off The Good Natured has produced a wonderful cover of Sufjan Stevens ' ' For the Widows in Paradise, For the Fatherless in Ypsilanti' which you can download below.

Sometimes it's better to give an artist you were iffy on previously another shot as they could surprise you in a very positive way. It was the case for me when it came to Mark Ronson as I now feel that his latest Record Collection deserves more than a few plaudits. This is also the case for the music of one Sarah McIntosh who goes by the name of The Good Natured. TGN, to me, before simply came off sounding a bit too naff and naive whilst somewhat lacking in compelling songs to be anything of note. Almost [...]

The phenomenon of young artists getting more air time is nothing new. But rarely do we stumble upon a teenager who evokes such raw emotion as Sarah McIntosh (aka The Good Natured), a 19-year-old Brit. She'll be releasing her second single "My Animal" November 1 via KIDS , and is teasing/pleasing us with the b-side in "Prisoner", available for free download. Prisoner's penetration begins immediately, with a sharp, pounding beat and unnerving vocals. The song is not for the weak of heart, seeping deep into our flesh and making us want to crawl out of our skin. [...]

A quick note from Phil: We first introduced you to The Good Natured last summer , but times have changed and this is a much better write-up than the original one! Sarah McIntosh is the lone member of The Good Natured and you can expect her to be a radio regular in a the not too distant future. A combination of electronic rhythms that would make MGMT proud and sublime vocals that sound like a mellow lily Allen or Kate Nash are the recipe to her success. The [...]
