  • Bio

    ..Marc McCourt.. (guitars) & ..Colm McCrory.. (bass) played together as Language of Flowers years ago and weren't very good so gave up. They resurrected the band in 2003, bringing on board ..Tara Simpson.. (vocals), ..Bentley Cooke.. (drums) & ..Ashton Cameron.. (guitar). .. Since then they signed to ..Shelteredlife Records.. in San Francisco & released their debut album, ..'Songs About You'.. in October 2004. .. .."Songs About You is a glorious dedication at the altar of Pop, is an album utterly in thrall to the very essence of what it means to be young (at heart) and tripping over yourself as you rush headlong into the wall of sounds that mean the world.".. - ..Tangents.. .. .."Hard to think that someone who loves classic indie pop wouldn't love this".. - ..One Chord.. .. .."Each listening is a little bit better than the previous one (but only a little, so that you can play it again and again)".. - ..Friends of the Heroes.. .. .."One thing you ought to pay heed to is the decidedly outstanding ..album of the year.. (2005) especially if you are into the British tradition of classic indiepop. If you are one of those nostalgic anoraks who stubbornly clutch your priceless seven-inches from Sarah, muttering that never again will there be such Perfect Bands, you should think again. So if this record is not already in your possession, it deserves its own pedestal in your home. Listen to it and marvel at the fact that the world, however horrid, can still turn out these little masterpieces.".. - ..Le Manchester.. .. The Language of Flowers played their last ever gig in Lund, Sweden, in September 2007. It was great! Marc is now playing guitar & singing for Solemn Novena, Tara is back in Belfast making babies, Colm & Ben are now finally getting their 'Help stamp out loneliness' project off the ground in Manchester & Ashton changed his name to DC & is working on Marxist pamphlets. Robert is a proud father, Gav still in Camera Obscura, Casso in Belfast & Dr Neeson is missing in action. .. .............. .. ....The Cat's miaow - Battersea Barge- 13/08/06.... .. width="425" height="350">.......... .. .. .. .. ....> ..

    Hey, hope you’re well.

    I need your help! I've entered a very important remix competition, and it would mean a lot to me if I won. Please can you vote for me and pass the message on to any one you think might be able to help? The deadline is getting close.

    Here's a link to the voting page www.bonobomusic.com/remixcompetition/track.php?uid=PYXLFBM5.


    My track Sourface Orchestral is a very simple, deep and thought provoking piece of music that I wrote years ago, and I have always thought it would be great to have Bonobo remix it, and now I have the chance! With the Brighton connection and the monkey names link, it would put a huge smile on my face if this happened!

    Cheers!

Since then they signed to Shelteredlife Records in San Francisco & released their debut album, 'Songs About You' in October 2004.

"Songs About You is a glorious dedication at the altar of Pop, is an album utterly in thrall to the very essence of what it means to be young (at heart) and tripping over yourself as you rush headlong into the wall of sounds that mean the world." - Tangents

"Hard to think that someone who loves classic indie pop wouldn't love this" - One Chord

"Each listening is a little bit better than the previous one (but only a little, so that you can play it again and again)" - Friends of the Heroes

"One thing you ought to pay heed to is the decidedly outstanding album of the year (2005) especially if you are into the British tradition of classic indiepop. If you are one of those nostalgic anoraks who stubbornly clutch your priceless seven-inches from Sarah, muttering that never again will there be such Perfect Bands, you should think again. So if this record is not already in your possession, it deserves its own pedestal in your home. Listen to it and marvel at the fact that the world, however horrid, can still turn out these little masterpieces." - Le Manchester

The Language of Flowers played their last ever gig in Lund, Sweden, in September 2007. It was great! Marc is now playing guitar & singing for Solemn Novena, Tara is back in Belfast making babies, Colm & Ben are now finally getting their 'Help stamp out loneliness' project off the ground in Manchester & Ashton changed his name to DC & is working on Marxist pamphlets.
