InfluencesMaybe some of the people we've played with will give you an idea where we're at:

Gigs with
The Pastels
Appendix Out
International Airport
Movietone
The Styrenes
Acid Mothers Temple
Richard Youngs
Lucky Luke
Music and Movement
Elliot Smith
Jad Fair
Future Pilot AKA
Belle and Sebastian
Empress
Tape
Tenniscoats
Bill Wells' National Jazz Trio of Scotland
Phantom Engineer

This is a very eclectic list for a band with such a monomaniac sound.

Sounds LikeLoose, ten-minutes-long, tape hiss, folky, warm, a bit like the Velvets, lonesome, a stripped-down (musically!) Galaxie 500/ Yo La Tengo, slightly blurred, like it's raining, snowing, really sunny, somewhere between the visceral and the whistleable.

   About National Park
Formed by John Hogarty and Scott Walker (guitar), Simon Shaw and Michael McGaughrin joined when forced into becoming a real band after being offered a gig at the Pastels' club Illumination with Future Pilot AKA. After nine under-achieving years and seven records, the lineup is now John, Simon, Gerard Love playing guitar and the incredible Eilidh Rodgers on drums. With John moonlighting earlier in the year for Simon's band (Lucky Luke) and lately Music and Movement, plans are afoot for some new National Park shows/ recordings.

More tracks can be heard at: nationalparksite.com

and you can see National Park videos on http://www.youtube.com/yieldrecordings.

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.

Hey there!

If you're out enjoying The Zombies tonight and fancy some more top soft pop why not pop along to the The Twisted Wheel where Australia's The Crayon Fields will be serving up their own brand of gentle, literate pop?

cheers, brogues

Hello,
Thanks John.
I think a National Park Track will be the next on my stereo.
By the way, I saw you were playing in Music and Movement too. Great band. I found (after weeks of search on webstores) one copy of "this is" :)
Cheers!
