Some words about the album:
"Instrumental gems incorporating circus waltzes, Morricone horns, debauched beats and surferama electronica."
"Amazing sounds punctuate this Sci-Fi Surfy treat from Restlesslist. It’s Pulp Fiction meets Ultra Lounge at Jim Rose’s Circus, with a touch of the Babyshambles ‘Oh yeahs?’attitude, and a whiff of 60’s Calypso – absolute magic…This album is cool, weird, and very very addictive. You will be hearing these tracks on copshows, catwalks, vampire flicks and in the coolest bar in the world, for a long time to come. Dick Dale would be proud… 5/5"
Restlesslist had a session with Marc Riley on BBC 6Music on 30th March - Listen Again at his website. They played songs from their new album (Coral Island Girl) Hunter Gatherer Moon Over Coral Island, Mr Winchester I Presume, Shy Coconut Love Song.
Clowns (Myspace) first EVER London gig: This is one not to be missed. Clowns is Electric Soft Parade, Brakes & Poppycocks new band (watch some live videos at their Myspace)
Review of Clowns first gig: Musically it's a mind bending concoction - twisted and slightly disturbing yet darkly playful, managing to combine the rockabilly swagger of Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster with the pop sensibilities of early Squeeze, all underlined by frenzied Fugazi-esque guitar attacks. This proves to be one of their greatest strengths, combining such disparate sounds to create something truly cohesive and wholly unique... 'She Says I'm A Clown' brings things to a perfect conclusion, building to a climatic sprawling whirlwind of sound with all four band members chanting the repeated chorus. It's fair to say that no-one else is making the sounds of Clowns at the moment - it's primal, raw, rocking and ever so slightly fucked up. And all the better for it.
Grappling For Answers, ten on ten... Butlin Breaks, excellent, just one minor criticism - Winterrr parts one and two... i may want to play them together but i'd like that to be MY choice. Use the Cowboy Song as a breakwater
Hello you lot. I bought your lp the other day. Fucking great - I've played it to lots of people. Anyway. Click for a listen to the new single 'Hurricane' out today on iTunes. Includes 3 Exclusive B-sides! Stay warm, friend.
Your Pipettes mix is the most gorgeous thing I ever heard, words can't describe its beauty. I thought it was a new Restlesslist track til the vocals came in... Thankyou :)
hi guys, saw you in brighton the other week supporting glasvegas and thought you were great. I love dirty pint. you said you needed a guitarist... *cough cough* lol!
Q Mag, p 113: "RESTLESSLIST is a collective of Brighton-based musicians whose debut The Rise And Fall Of The Curtain Club (Life Is Easy, 3 stars) features 10 mostly funky instrumental tracks. It's like a compilation of B-movie themes.
From The Chris T-T Blog Matt Twaites’ band Restlesslist are doing Marc Riley’s show on BBC6 Music this evening and Tom is drumming. Restlesslist are storming, doing complex, instrumental psyche prog-pop (spacerock?). Bloody ace... Listen Again (at the start of the show + about 40 mins in)
