Some stuff other people said about debut album Knowing Too Much:

Knowing Too Much is a sheer delight... A damn fine pop album for those who like their pop shrouded in off-kilter noise. - Leeds Guide

I am genuinely surprised by Knowing Too Much. It really is a pristine pop record - with an aching melancholy at its heart. - Lostmusic Blog

Knowing Too Much is an album full of British Pop tunes, toughened up with burst of guitars and frenetic jangles. The album is refreshingly compact... an utterly impressive debut. - Manchester Music

Lessons’ and ‘Joanne’ are two of the most endearing guitar songs issued in a long, long while... From start to finish this album should be played loud from a car stereo and covers enough bases to provide the soundtrack to your Spring with its pop duellings yet never loses sight of its credibility factor. - This Is Fake DIY

Backed by the zesty Squirrel Records, downdime sound every bit the cool sub-radar Leeds outfit, with this eight-song album recorded at The Brudenell Social Club. It’s a messy attempt at something very pure, and that is always a good thing. - High Voltage

If you like your Pavement, Mercury Rev, Sebadoh and your Wedding Present then this is for you. Well played, well recorded, good songs, good sounds, all good, sometimes it really is that simple. - Organ Magazine

tip toe records - ITCH ALBUM OUT 17.11.09



Oct 18 2009 8:57 PM

Tip toe records presents a rather special rare show at the black swan pub in the heart of York. Live music from:





TEN
combine
electronic keys and percussion with the acoustic sounds of glockenspiel
and a string quartet to create a beautiful sound-scape that moves from
slow, eery and melancholic to pulsating and optimistic.
"Cloud-filled electronic pulse" Terrascope
www.myspace.com/tenthegreat

RED TREES
red
trees folk music belongs to and reflects their natural surroundings,
they shade their melodious ease with a melancholy sense of nostalgia
and longing.'
