Teenage Lust: Teenage Lust 1
If you know the most talented young bands in the UK so well that you know all about their side projects too, then you are Aberdeen's Teenage Lust Club, and can give Ten Tracks a gift like this.
Extra Time then Sudden Death
Hot Club de Paris
Telling story-lyrics, gradually building atmosphere. A rouser for a manageably sized and above averagely intelligent rabble.
Birds, Ice Cream and Whales
Love of Everything
One of two holiday flavoured tunes, this one with a strong vocal line, featuring '...Whales with broken links to Tokyo...'. Surely worth a listen.
To Balance a Diet
Copy Haho
One of several interesting time signatures, guitar rhythms, and vocal melodies that speak of the Teenage Lust label's curatorial talent. Bravo Haho!
Trying to be Good
Jesus H. Foxx
Jesus H Foxx, the sinful one from Edinburgh's chocolate-box of breaking bands, here make sweet guitar melodies into items of bitterness, to point up a counterintuitive yet relevant lyric.
Billie Jeans
Pennines
Great rhythm and lead guitar relations. Nice voice. Crisp indie. Proper musicality. Satisfying. And cow for the track art... Ten Tracks loves art.
Boobook
Text Adventure
A beautiful track: Curey, Fencey, really unique choices of sampled sound. Great electonic/acoustic crossover stuff.
Hassle With Real
Vacations
Deceptively simple. Or is it deceptively complex? Never sure. More complex than it sounds. Grimey late 70s vocal, guitar parts more recently and more historically inspired. Subtle genre/era mixups going on in general here. A tune for recessions maybe.
