'yo la tengo’s indie-pop savvy, pavement at their sweetest, and a touch of broken social scene' (drowned in sound)

'slacker indie pop sensibilities that herald an inevitable radio takeover in the next year' (uncut)

'like calexico's poppier cousins...genuinely tuneful country tinged songs...one of the capital's best kept secrets' (the fly)

'english pop songwriting with a charming nonchalance and great taste in jumpers' (rockfeedback)

our next gig is on 15th july with fellow stolen folk pete & the pirates and the european.

Labelled With Love

'good to go' came out as a single on monday 8th june; it was released as a digital download only and can be bought by clicking on the link above or cover below!


good to go


My Sad Captains - Change of Scenery - Single - Change of Scenery

it has been getting lots of nice airplay from xfm, bbc 6 music, bbc radio 2 and bbc radio 1, to mention but a few. it was also steve lamacq's single of the week on both 6 music and radio 1. our friends henna, dan, and ailsa made the following video for the release.

• we went to south by south west this year for the first time. we met lots of nice people, played some shows, watched lots of bands, and mainly just had an amazing time. everyone should go. we also played at the great escape in brighton in may.

'a change of scenery' was the first single taken from the album, as a digital download only, via itunes and the stolen website. the video, which was filmed in painfully arctic conditions, can be seen below. don't expect smiles, but do expect umbrellas.

Finally got a copy of your LP (on CD no less). I have to say at first I was a little dissapointed by it, perhaps because it wasn't what I expected it to be. However, when I stepped back and just listened to it for what it is, it sunk it's teeth in and I am now enjoying it fully.

Sterling work, lads (and ladies).
