Single of the Month by Pennyeach ‘Gracie b’ (Shifty Disco) ‘From the moment this record begins it has a very accomplished feel. It’s a heartfelt ballad with some lovely bontempi style keyboard, totally redolent of wracked adolescents sitting in their bedrooms. A gorgeous repetitive piano motif just adds the final gloss to a wonderful release.’ © Record Collector January 2000

   About The War Crimes
"These songs are Copyrighted in U.S., under Seal of Copyright 154085, for a period of 280 years, and anybody caught singin it without our permission, will be mighty good friends of ourn, cause we don't give a dern. Publish it. Write it. Sing it. Swing to it. Yodel it. We wrote it, that's all we wanted to do. Love Ed and Owen 2008."
..

Ed Dodd and Owen Gaffney are song writers. Described as 'resolutely uncommercial, wilfully perverse and quite perfect' by The Times newspaper. Ed is a writer who splits his time between Nottingham and the States. He criss-crosses North America, travelling light, picking up itinerant work and stories, keeping journals. Owen writes electropop. He learnt his craft at Confetti Studios in Nottingham, alongside Emma (Scout) Niblett. Owen has been writing with Ed on and off now for some years. ‘The first time I met Ed, I’d picked him up travelling south. Said he’d been waiting a couple of hours. It was raining.’ ‘Even to this day, we can laugh about exactly what was said, what we wore and what we smoked. Hitching, or picking up hitchers, makes you observant: you never know when you might have to recount it all in front of a judge.’ In 2006, they formed a new band, The War Crimes following a conversation between Ed and Swedish songwriter Nicolai Dungar in a bar in Madison, Wisconsin. The War Crimes have performed six times in public. Seven if you include court appearances ('lewd' behaviour). «-(¯..v..¯)-«

Russian dolls are really sweet and your music remind me a little Badalamenti and David Lynch. There is a distant melancholia here, and i like that.
