The Soft Pack - C'Mon
Very short and sweet song by The Soft Pack. Little nugget here, they were called "The Muslims" initially, but for obvious reasons they changed their name.
Cue Homer, "Doh!"
This year, they opened for Franz Ferdinand, toured with White Lies and Friendly Fires, did their own small tour to promote their "Extinction" EP and will be opening 2 shows in the US for Phoenix.
Goodbye Kumiko - We Die On Ordinary Days (mp3)
A song with an intro that immediately brings to mind those old gramophones while sound quality would be a little scratchy. Subsequently a short "interlude" with just one line, and the piano comes on with the guitar strummed rapidly in the background, before everything makes way gradually to the keyboard. Neat piece of work. I love their name as well. Goodbye Kumiko brings a sort of warm and reminiscent feeling, it's got something to do with the japanese name, like how I love Murakami's books (like even if he wasn't a good writer, i'd still like his books cos he's japanese.)
Goodbye Kumiko - The Tigers (mp3)
Here's another one by them. They're pretty good eh? However this one has a festive folksy lilt, which is refreshing. There's a very subtle underlying mysteriousness about the song too.
