Since I moved for 2013, I've been on limited/metered internet, which basically means I can't really download or stream music. Thankfully I still randomly get these things called "compact discs" in the mail, so I've been reviewing those instead (I will be reviewing six albums from Mute Records very soon!)
THE CANNANES
cannanes.com
Australia's The Cannanes are back. It's been four years since their last EP, but according to Fran Gibson and Stephen O'Neil, they'll be releasing a full length album Howling at All Hours in 2013 (and will likely do a world tour in support of it.)
I got a chance to listen to their preceding EP, Small Batch, which coming out on March 19th, 2013, and I have to say: I LOVE IT.
Singer Gibson sounds a little older, but she still sings well. My favorite and "danciest" song, "Basics", reminds me of why I love St Etienne, while their single, "Bumper", reminds me of the best parts of any indie-pop songs: a catchy melody, easy-on-the-ears vocals, a dash of odd horns section, and an extended psychedelic sixties organs/keys solo.
Confused? Listen for yourself, it's the track that you can download for free at
Fanatic.
Look for Small Batch EP on March 19th on exro.fm / Lamingtone Records.
