The Police Box: Doune The Rabbit Hole (Police Box 17)
DIY festival 'Doune The Rabbit Hole' has its debut on 30th & 31st July 2010. Here we salute 10 of the many fine acts featuring. Listen to these, and take a peek at the rest dounetherabbithole.co.uk...
Better To Wear Out Shoes Than Sheets
The One Ensemble
From the Dummy Jim album, jaunty cello and giddy droning passages here hypnotise you into getting lost in an English maze-garden of sound. Support the good cause of good music, and good causes by checking up on www.dummyjim.com
Leith Walk
Foxgang
Studio version of another rabble-rouser from their live set that is jam-packed with melodically strong, danceable, thoughtful and politically active songs. P.S. anyone from Leith recognise the guy on the track art? [drawn by Ryan from the band]
Perfume
Hidden Masters
Sixties start, Go-go garage guitars, urgent vocal harmonies divulging insightful meditation on 'Perfume'. [By agreement with Hijack 2, Ten Tracks is completing some of its track blurbs during a single listen to the track, without edit]
Dance of the Dead
My Old Blue Terraplane
'Dance in the fire, you bastards!' - Rob, from the band (and co-curator/sound-engineer of the all-live Hijack compilation).
Flying The Yellow Kite
The Junipers
This one fits snugly into one reviewer's conclusion about The Junipers work: "Honest, Joyful songs with sucrose vocals & chord changes pulled from a broken heart"
Introduction
Zebra
An amalgam of sub-songs, 'Pixels / Simple As That', this is aptly named, being the first downloadable release by these tragic heroes - and their first ever release as... Zebra.
Keep Me In The Dark (live)
John B McKenna
Winning lyrics from the winning sperm party-released trougoodour. The recording is taken from Ten Tracks' Verden whistle Test sessions - look out for forthcoming Ten Track DVD complete with John B's pre-song storytelling skills...
Fillet Of Bozo
Inspector Tapehead
A cartoonily cinematic and exotically familiar shanty, complete with cheeky synths and gritty yet melodic vocal textures affording very favourable Beta Band comparisons indeed.
Tom Violence (feat. Dan Mutch)
Zed Penguin
Uniquely rendered Sonic Youth cover, refreshing the original's reclusive downbeat feeling with the help of a hauntingly distant double-track vocal mix.
Every Night Around This Time
The Black Diamond Express
2010 going on 1910. How'd they go an do dat, naw?
