Loads of good stuff happening on our lovely record label...
Festival season is upon us once again and several of our bands will be slapping on the patchouli oil and donning their flowery wellies to entertain you at gatherings ranging from the newbie, Down Home nestling in the South Downs, to the mighty Glasto. See above for specific apparitions.
And just in case there are any laggards amongst you who haven't yet bought JOE GIDEON & THE SHARK's explosive, stunning debut album, HARUM SCARUM or the wonderful, if slightly, warped TO ARMS ETC's scintillating new album, CORNER GAMES, well, get to our shop at www.bronzerat.com immediately. The press for both of them has been nothing less than euphoric, and rightly so. To whit....
JOE GIDEON & THE SHARK
“An inspired band with fire at their finger tips. Astonishing” *– NME 8/10
“To be funny and moving at the same time is one thing. Their combination of true grit and grace is rarer still” – *6/6 album review, Time Out (London)
“Sounds like the White Stripes on paper, but is a lot, lot better” – *Rob Da Bank, BBC Radio 1
“Drawing from the same elemental blues-country well as PJ Harvey and Nick Cave... mordant comic vignettes where mundane realities and fantastical conjecture collide. There’s a laudable balance of enjoyment and weight.” **** Q
“The album ranges from souped-up 21st century rock ‘n’ roll, to power duo blues, to song built around Spartan piano lines. While Gideon’s lyrics are acutely observed, droll, and sometimes touching.” **** MOJO
TO ARMS ETC
“...engaging, piano-powered, big-stride pop, widescreened with surfy swathes of harmony vocals and rich textures of cello, organ, bottleneck guitar and skittish imagination.” Phil Sutcliffe, MOJO
“...luxuriates in the same balmy, baroque pop waters as The Beach Boys, Todd Rundgren, and Rufus Wainwright, with dreamy harmonies, arch lyrics and artful, piano-led arrangements. Songwriter, Charles Campbell-Jones is definitely a talent to watch.” Q
“Chamber-pop, bluesy melodrama and piano-led minimalism. A snapshot of the 21st century played out with baroque undertones and an ear for a catchy tune.” Uncut **** stars.
If that wasn't enough to be going on with, expect a new single from TO ARMS ETC soon, plus Lights out, Zoltar! a heart-stoppingly gorgeous second collection from our pop-noir goddess, GEMMA RAY.
