   About Jeans goes POP!
"Possessed of a quirky showmanship that nestles somewhere between Ben folds and David Bowie, Paul Jeans is perhaps the most unlikely of show-offs. In the guise of Jeans goes POP! the Newcastle man sounds possessed of more than the standard pair of arms - knocking out piano melodies while thwacking a bass drum and flitting between microphone and mouth organ. His odd arrangements never become novelty, however, and he delivers his songs with genuine heartiness." STOOL PIGEON
'In Glorious Technicolor' is indeed glorious and showcases his breezy way with a piano riff, his unshowy but warm-glow vocals and his mastery of melody. The album is never predictable – he takes tunes around some unexpected but delightful detours" THE CRACK
"If you own Hunky Dory by David Bowie, this would snuggle in nicely next to it in your CD collection." SUNDAY SUN
"You need Jeans goes POP in your life...Easily the best release of the month!" NARC.
"It's safe to say that Jeans goes POP! is a unique artist - Full of originality and wit and sharp enough to dispel the one man band stigma and make it cool as fuck" SHAM
"a thoroughly impressive debut. In Glorious Technicolor is everything it's title suggests" ANIMAL RIOT
"a tour de force of jaunty, uplifting and catchy melodies with just the right amount of quirkiness that makes JgP! a maverick of his trade." NEWCASTLE EVENING CHRONICLE

Hello,

North Atlantic Oscillation's "Hollywood Has Ended", from the forthcoming album Grappling Hooks, is featured in this month's Police Box compilation from TenTracks. It's here:

http://www.tentracks.co.uk/channel/the-police-box/the-police-box-april-09

In case you haven't heard, TenTracks is a new music delivery service where you can buy exclusive 10-track compilations for £1, i.e. a mere 10p per track.

This month NAO are in the illustrious company of the excellent Found, Orkestra Del Sol, Fence Collective luminaries James Yorkston and King Creosote and exactly 5 others. Once again, that's £1 for ALL TEN TRACKS. Not bad, really.

..I belief in
artgeneering...

the artist is only a medium,connected to the spirits around him-

translating vibes into symbolic shapes to reinitialize the ancient way
of using language...

the way of light and color...

without the disguise of words,right through the passage of our eyes...

to reach hearts and souls without taking the intelectual loop way...

natural formulas in an unnatural world...pure and uncensored...

awakening the visiual awareness, the centre of our inner universe...

to let it shine in the way it has allways been before these annoying
times,

that keep us away from our natural mission...

to stay connected with our great mother earth and her deep spirit of
freedom and peace...

we have to regain our nearly lost nativeness,

to stop this wheel of opression and iniquity that haunts our world and
our hearts...it's time for the rainbow warriors :-)

Penny Century hail from Östersund, a town in northern Sweden renowned for, er... not an awful lot, until now. After releasing four EPs, Between A Hundred Lies, their debut full length offering, is an exceptional and inspired collection of intelligent and, frankly, mature song writing, delighting with its uplifting melodies and the heavenly voice of Julia Hanberg. Demonstrating a canny knack for composing songs that combine elements of 60s girl groups and new wave pop (a la Blondie and The Pretenders), they're also smart enough to add effective brass, with an occasional touch of violin and banjo too, that helps propel their bright, infectious sound skywards. Absolute pop perfection.
