Skipping Stones Records

The Charade has a track on the summer comp from ear drums music blog.
It's an alternative mix of Ballad Of Uneasy Rider with a "Simon & Garfunkel chorus."

And two new reviews!
Singing Bridges on Pennyblackmusic.


It all depends on how miserable and curmudgeonly you are, and your take on girly, charmingly wibbly, on-off-.. vocals and 60's-ish song-writing.

If you're a true romantic, this harmony-drenched,breezily strummed four-song confection will have you smiling as you picture a young Brigitte Bardot freewheeling down a sun-dappled French country lane on her bicycle, blonde locks billowing out behind her.

The heartless misery guts, however, will envision a drippy trainee infant school teacher, staring out of her bedsit window and still yearning over a boyfriend who dumped her three years ago.

We laugh in the face of cynicism, so we're demanding you go for the the former. In between wondering, that is, what mood stabilizers a band needs to be on to make their happy tunes sound so pleasingly wistful and the sad stuff so candyfloss sweet? And can you get them on the internet?

Everything that was so good about Sarah Records can be heard here. I really can't recommend this album enough. It's called "It's Getting Clearer" and is avaliable now through Skipping Stones Records. . .
