InfluencesBIG POTATO TOP 13 ALBUMS OF 2008

Benji Hughes - A Love Extreme "A big smiley treat, full of the most unexpected twists and turns & as life affirming as The Flaming Lips"

Bonnie Prince Billy - Lay Down In The Light "Maybe his best, certainly as good as Ease On Down The Road, just good solid song-writing"

Neil Halstead - Oh! Mighty Engine "A mighty understatement twisting through the Cornish fellers world, beautiful"

Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago "Makes anyone making this sort of music sick"

Plush - Fed "At last it sees the light of day. To think this was shelved is almost as sinful as Big Star's "3rd""

CSS - Donkey "At first you may hate them - but you'll find you're wrong wrong wrong. Kooky souls with Sonic Youth attitude"

Caz Mechanic - The Secret Life Of The Wife Of The Captain Of The Ship In a Bottle on The Mantelpiece "Caz Mechanic's debut had put the Cornwall based singer in pole position to be the most brilliant new artist of 2008" Bearded Magazine

Holton's Opulent Oog - The Problem of Knowledge "The lyrics are beautiful, the music is lo-fi and perfect and Holton's Opulent Oog have managed to capture my heart" Room 13

Danny & The Champions Of The World - Danny & The Champions Of The World "One of the greatest live acts you will ever see if you are in to free, beautiful, psychedelic thrills"

Noah And The Whale - Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down - "There is so much of this album that is brilliant that any portion that may sag is more than supported"

The Young Republic - 12 Tales From Winter City "Great debut from Canada on a great new label from over here"

Howlin Reign - Magnificent Fiend "Masters of rock return - we are talking rock that makes you hurt in all the right ways"

Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes "No more has to be said about this album - well maybe you could say 'nice'"

   About Big Potato Records

CAZ MECHANIC

"Caz Mechanic proves that she is as blessed with intelligent beauty, sweet lyrics and nifty asides all indicate a quirky, if not unique, talent." 7/10 Drowned In Sound

Caz Mechanic - WIFE OF THE CAPTAIN OF THE SHIP IN THE BOTTLE ON THE MANTLE PIECE out NOW

Smell of Last Night

Add to My Profile | More Videos

"Caz Mechanic has made a confident, uncompromising album on her own terms. An adorable little musical oddity." Clash

"Caz Mechanic has come up with a stunningly colourful debut set of pop gems. Streaming with ideas and bursting with life this is a record you do not want to miss out on." 4/5 MH SUBBA CULTCHA

"The skeletal otherness of Banks's voice, which recalls early Cat Power. Caz Mechanic and friends work up a convincing Nico/Velvets drone." Uncut

HOLTON'S OPULENT OOG........................................................................................... Holton’s Opulent OogThe Problem of knowledge is a beautifully realised album full of bright tunes, dark thoughts, happy days & long nights. You will find yourself tapping your toe to the mellow snarl of Tab, smiling through See You in La La, sighing along with Oaki Room before holding your breath at Pour it Out. It’s a minimalist creation built around the Spanish guitar, violin & poems. Lots of space, room to get lost & puzzle in. Holton’s Opulent Oog features ian mccutcheon (mojave3 & loose salute), simon rowe (chapter house & mojave3) caroline banks(seafood & caz mechanic), Roger Proctor & holton.

"A pretty, intimate gen" Plan B

"Holton’s Opulent Oog’s sound is all wistful sighs, whisky slugs and alt.country brilliance. An absolute treat." BN 9/10 NME

"Sheer tenderness & sincerity. Guitar picking loveliness. A work of love, unique." Notion

The Problem of Knowledge is a subtle, but very alluring record. The core of its sound is dreamy alt-country, mainly based around the dusty, Dylan-like vocals, Spanish guitar and harmonica of the eponymous Holton. But more fundamentally, this is an album that contains classic songwriting pushed many ways" 7/10 Drowned In Sound

The lyrics are beautiful, the music is lo-fi and perfect and Holton's Opulent Oog have managed to capture my heart with "The Problem of Knowledge". 11/13 Room 13

"The Problem Of Knowledge is minimalistic just above the extreme, built around a violin and Spanish guitar and it absolutely brilliant. It seems that alternative country is coming back into popularity, and it seems that Holton’s Opulent Oog are going to be leading the way" Bearded

PRESIDENT SWEETHEART. President Sweetheart’s debut will be released in 2008. Heart warming mix of melodic folk & lo-fi country. Full of great songs warmly produced at our own studio. Harmonies, mouth organ, banjo, peddle steel, thickly spread where required, but as in "not just killing you" the song holds centre stage with just whips of feed back to keep it company. The album dips it's head to dark country of "do you feel like those other girls" then lifts off with a smile on "speak,whistle & hope" ................................ ..................................... . ................................ ............................................... ........................... ................................. COLEY PARK ...................................................................................... Rhinoceros, Coley Park’s 3rd album finds them exploring poppier, melodic songs & mixing realities in wordy tales of loss & hope. Music is supplied from melodic, fuzzy, wooshy keys, dirty jangly guitars, flutes, violins, sweet harmonies, blasting trumpets, rocket ships of feed back & the big pounding drum & bass.

"Coley Park are purveyors of jangly indie-pop with a country twang and a psychedelic twist. For this, their third album, they’ve come up with an understated masterpiece, their beguiling naivety on tracks such as ‘Said And Done’ coming across like Nick Drake fronting The Pastels. “We’re so peripheral right now”, they lament ..r ‘Of All Faces’ – if this was a just world they wouldn’t be." 8/10 NME

“Strikes a telling balance between the pastoral vibes of little England & a warm Americana. Detailed by studied lyrics, they stir up a woozy psych sound of a high standard” 4/5 The Independent.

Very sad to hear that Neil Halsted is no longer playing but on the other hand very pleased that Slow River Slow and Caz Mechanic are.
Looking forward to it.
