heard these guys on Tom Ravenscroft on bbc 6. Very good shit-gazey, barnstorming, ultra lo-fi, bit of a Brainiac bang in places, hook-laden indie rock. Skills to pay the bills but would rather hang out of Christian Slater's slack pants. Pay what you like on the bandcamp...
really good. sounds like members of TWINKEYZ, CHROME, PYLON and SWELL MAPS formed a band in 1979.
Cheers I just got a copy.
Like the above, NOT STRICTLY NEW, but a new anthology.
Stumbled across this in my bandcamp wanderings. If you're thinking, "fuck this February bullshit not even a proper month the weather's fucked Eastenders is the best thing in my life is there any point anymore at all?" this might put some pep in your step when you're munching on your morning cornflakes.
From the blurb:
"Four tracks by one of the biggest names in South African disco: Condry Ziqubu. A regular on the local soul scene since the late 1960s in groups such as The Flaming Souls, The Anchors and The Flaming Ghettoes, by the mid-80s he had qualified as a sangoma (traditional healer), recorded with Harari (the biggest group in the country at the time), fronted his own group Lumumba, and travelled the world as part of Caiphus Semenya and Letta Mbulu’s band.
In 1986 he ditched Lumumba and released his first solo hit, ‘Gorilla Man’. Opening with an audacious 20-second intro, the song tells the story of a man preying on women in downtown Johannesburg. It highlights Condry’s winning formula of lyrics that touch on everyday South African issues and places (without drawing the attention of apartheid censors). Musically the song draws obvious influence from Piano Fantasia’s 1985 Euro-disco hit ‘Song for Denise’."
All the tracks are from the 80s originally. So not new, but new old.

This is quite good [on first listen]. That 'Moon Turns Tide' song is a keeper for sure - frazzled, entrapped saxophones are always very pleasing. New to me. 'Daring and true pop' apparently. Be interesting to here what Lili Marlene makes of it.
Very busy, rich.
I heard a track on Shaun Keveaney [typical BBC everyman blokely bloke like Mark Chapman] today whilst sweeping the floor. The track didn't particularly grab me - pleasing as it was, I wasn't fully awake to be honest - but he mentioned Fire Records so I wrote the name down.
Might be one for fans of Broadcast et al.
