"If more twee acts balanced wit, bile, and heart like this track does, they wouldn't bore their detractors off of so many balconies." - PITCHFORKMEDIA
"Pelle Carlberg is the new, sweet voiced, string-dappled conqueror in town." - MAGNET MAGAZINE
"The album is indeed frequently pretty and always very witty" - STYLUS
"the ambiguous humor of Carlberg's narratives matches the odd bounce of Belle and Sebastian (there's a lot of Stuart Murdoch in his voice as well) or Jonathan Richman in recent years" - PREFIX MAG
Hello. Please do delete this comment if you so wish.
We're just making sure that everyone knows that our debut album 'Horses For Courses' is available to buy from our little record label's online shop:
http://www.donttellclare.co.uk/shop.htm
Its been selling faster than we expected, and we currently only have around a quarter of our stock left - so we thought we'd better you all know that if you want a copy then now would be a good time to pick one up! If you buy it from the link above then you're buying it direct from us, the label aren't taking a cut - so its a bit like Fair Trade for struggling musicians.
International mail-order is available, just follow the instructions.
Thank you very much, and sorry for making a mess of your profile. If its any kind of consolation, we don't have a MySpace bot, so I'm leaving these comments the old fashioned way. Three -and-a-half thousand of them. My life is so exciting.
Hej! Thanks for adding me! Great show in Bremen! I was also very impressed of Jonathan's performance: mini "drumset", bass, harmonica and back vocals - wow! And "I Believe In A Thing Called Love" - wonderful acoustic version! The first thing I did when coming home was listening to The Darkness. :o)
hey pelle, a little late, i'm sorry: thanks for this wonderful little concert in dresden! :) we had such a nice evening there. i'd be happy if it's not 2 years to your next show here, like it was last time ;)
