Is it Summer already ??? Well in Minnesota, it's still slightly breezy (and rainy), but I believe it's officially Summer!
In celebration, we're going to listen to "Feels Like Summer" by Sing-Sing! This is such a great pop tune!
Sing-Sing has a semi-famous bassist called Emma Anderson, who started off in her career as a fanzine writer with her buddy, Miki Berenyi, in London. They formed a little shoegazing band called Lush, who were well-loved in the press (even after they changed their sound to more agressive rock after their third album).
After the start of the decline of Britpop, in 1996, their drummer, Chris Acland, committed suicide due to depression. The three remaining band members decided to split up.
We haven't heard from any of the band members for a while, and the first news that I heard was that Emma was in a new band called Sing-Sing. I did manage to pick up "The Joy of Sing-Sing", which I wasn't too impressed with. There were a few songs that stood out, "Tegan" and "Feels Like Summer". The other songs seems kind of bland to me (I suspect it is because I wasn't used to Lisa O'Neill's vocals). I guess deep down in my heart, I had wish they were another Lush.
Anyway, their album didn't sell too well and I read somewhere that they kind of wanted to give up - only to be lured back to the studios because of their overwhelming fan support. With that they released "Sing-Sing and I" in 2005.
Sing-Sing are still releasing music through their official website, so check them out if you like this song. I believe they're offering "Lover" for download on myspace.
