Video: Lightships - Sweetness In Her Spark

Soms moet je het gewoon de artiest zelf allemaal laten uitleggen. Kom er maar in, Gerard: "My name is Gerard Love. I live in Glasgow. I play bass guitar in a group called Teenage Fanclub. For the last few years, with the help of some friends, I’ve been making an album. This record is now [...] The post Simpel en zo mooi appeared first on Apply Some Pressure .

Gerard Love is known for being one-third of one of the finest song writing triptychs of the past 20 years through his role in the enduring and wonderful Teenage Fanclub . Through records like Bandwagonesque , Thirteen and Grand Prix to name but three of the band’s albums, Love was always the one that wrote the driving, instant pop 'hits' compared to Norman Blake’s more thoughtful and intricate songs, and the solid craftsmanship of Raymond McGinley. But now that the band reconvene to make music less often – just two albums since 2005 – [...]

Candlebox "Love Stories & Other Musings" Candlebox is a perfect example of popular rock band that doesn't want to be hemmed into a single rock category. With a platinum-selling debut in 1993, they rode the Seattle grunge bandwagon but the wheels fell off in 2000 with numerous personnel changes. They reformed in 2008 and the band now sounds totally ready for a comeback. Opening with "Youth In Revolt" it's got a loose feel, and like the Foo Fighters, blasts us with guitars and a heavy hook. My favorite here is next, "Sweet Summertime," its a great power [...]

• Lightships - Silver & Gold

When I was a young whippersnapper, released into the big boys' world of proper music by dint of attending a provincial university and hanging out with those who had reached the heady heights of their 21st birthday, CDs were at their peak of popularity. Those little silver discs held a genuine aura of exoticity and desire – vinyl was dead, the internet was slow – and amongst the also-ran Britpop, heavy metal and proto-girl bands available at one's local HMV was a swiftly-growing metagenre called 'Chill Out'. The nadir of which was “three discs for £4.99” specials, usually headed by [...]

Think of this approach to pop/rock songwriting as a stretching out of time, like time-lapse photography that captures the flickering rays of the sun. Gerard Love's ability to sing in a languorous way over dreamy music should be familiar to any fan of his band Teenage Fanclub, who are now over two decades into their career. Go back and listen, for example, to "Sweet Days Waiting", my favorite song on their most recent LP, 2010's Shadows. Think of that approach to pop/rock songwriting as a stretching out of time, like time-lapse photography that captures the flickering rays of the...

Fans of summery classic pop, and anyone who bought the last Real Estate album are directed to Lightships , the new musical project from Teenage Fanclub stalwart Gerard Love. The band have announced some gigs in support of their poptastic new 45 (yes, glorious 7” vinyl) “Sweetness In Her Spark” and the forthcoming album Electric Cables , which is released next Monday, April 2nd. The aforementioned track is fast becoming a contender for Vinyl District UK track of the year. The single is backed by a cover of [...]

(Had me a blast). It's been a good old week, all things considered. I'm still basking in the afterglow of my team beating one of the great unwashed in a national cup final at the national stadium, the frantic pace of work is slowing down in preparation for the Easter holidays, I've got a new bike that I plan to cycle for miles and miles and the sun has been shining as if March thinks it's July. I drove home today, window down to the sounds of Lee Perry and his dubby Jah-maica-ca-ca-ca riddims, convinced I was stopping tomorrow for [...]

• DominoRecordCo - Lightships - Do Your Thing (Moondog Cover)

Tie for first place this week. The rainbow light in Lightships' memories is equivalent to the fantastic art directions of Sweden's Heart-Sick Groans. Chairlift continues to be fantastic and La Sera continues to be hot. Belle And Sebastian have a new/kinda neat video and the Veronica Falls will blow your gourd. -Matt

Lightships, the new project started by Gerard Love of Teenage Fanclub, has released a video for “Sweetness In Her Spark,” off Electric Cables (Domino). The clip will make you feel as carefree as the easy breezy song itself. It features grainy footage of summer vacations, beach scenes and general frolicking in nature, immediately invoking a [...]

We haven't had more than seven days that've dropped below freezing, but it is still technically winter. I keep hoping we'll get one snowstorm before it's over. Maybe. Here for you, there's two bands from Finland, four from Australia, Dreams and Dreems, Cats and Cates, guitars and synths. One Dinowalrus. I think this will be the last Wintry Mix of 2012. But look for Spring Fever in April. DOWNLOAD WINTRY MIX 2.22.2012 Tracklist: 1. Eux Autres - Right [...]

Teenage Fanclub's Gerard Love is on a solo tip as Lightships. Check this nice scenic video for his track Sweetness In Her Spark . It's taken from the album Electric Cables (out on Monday the 2nd of April via Domino).

Lightships on Teenage Fanclubista tutun Gerard Loven  projekti, jolta ilmestyy ensimmäinen levy Electric Cables 2. huhtikuuta. Loven lisäksi kyytiin ovat lähteneet Dave McGowan (kitara, Teenage Fanclub), Brendan O'Hare (rummut, Teenage Fanclub), Tom Crossley (huilu, International Airport ja The Pastels) sekä Bob Kildea (basso, Belle & Sebastian). Lightships ei putoa kovinkaan kauas Teenage Fanclubin tunnelmista, mikä on minun kirjoissani ainoastaan hyvä asia. Luvassa siis klassista ja melodista kitarapoppia on maustettu reilulla määrällä lämpöä, tremoloa, viivettä ja huilua. Two Lines http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =4y9_Y404FQE [...]
