MAX TUNDRA
http://www.myspace.com/maxtundrahttp://www.maxtundra.com/“A
whole other world of pop music – an absolutely unique, enchanting, and
irreplaceable vision of how the stuff can work” – Pitchfork (27th best
album [and highest-rated Domino release] of 2008)
“Parallax Error Beheads You is an enormous achievement, one that expands the syntax of the medium” – Momus (best album of 2008)
“This
year has bubbled and bleeped with the sound of bedroom electronica that
harks back to the past, but the third album by Max Tundra is the most
joyful of all. A pop tour de force, bursting with bright, bouncy hooks”
– The Guardian
“Mannered English eccentricity never sounded so deliriously thrilling” – All Music Guide
“It hurts and twists your brain until you start to crave this Tundra terrorism” – NME
“His maniacal energy is infectious” – The Wire
“Mr and Mrs Tundra can be very proud of their boy” – The Independent
“There's something for anyone with a taste for things multicoloured and marvellously eclectic” – Mojo
“A
modern landmark in sophisticated pop-song composition. Frank Zappa,
Steely Dan, Scritti Politti, Cornelius, Prince, Daft Punk... it manages
to consistently equal and even occasionally improve upon the best work
by each of those artists and then some. 10/10” – Spencer Owen (mog.com)
“He has struck gold with his masterful third release – smart and relevant” - Treble
“A million-course meal stuffed into one disc from the singular mind of an itinerant musical chef” – XLR8R (Staff Pick)

"Perfect celestial pop." - Guardian
"Music both sublime and bumping." - Sunday Herald
"Absolutely brilliant... that is staggeringly good!" - Radcliffe & Maconie (Radio 2)
VOO
http://www.myspace.com/voorock"A brilliant underground rock record......" 9/10
DISORDER MAGAZINE
"Voo's
album could and should be celebrated as a quiet victory for British
rock - imaginitive, exciting and unafraid to go against the grain...4/5"
GIGWISE
"Capable of reaching out and touching all but the hard hearted, Voo's debut could bring a refreshing light to dark days..."
DROWNED IN SOUND
**Recommended**
"Voo
execute a clever balance between lo-fi pop and jangley, ambitious indie
rock...'Dates, Facts and Figures' is a remarkably understated, yet
powerful album...4/5"
MANCHESTER MUSIC

HALLO..I LOVE YOU
http://www.myspace.com/halloiloveyouHallo..I
Love You arrived in April 09, from the ashes of Elle S'apelle & 28
Costumes, with a large sack of pop sensibilties, a ruck of ideas and
few keyboards to cover the world in honey-fresh, deliciously cloudless
skypop and got straight to work!
PARTY HORSE
http://www.myspace.com/partyhorsemusicLead
singer DK formed PH, from the ashes of Tiny Dancers, to play Moscow
Fashion Week PARTY HORSE would rather have a piece of toast than see a
ghost. Like a Anglo/Dutch Fleetwood Mac brought up on grilled cheese
they play music that's energetically challenged.
JUST HANDSHAKES (WE'RE BRITISH)
http://www.myspace.com/justhandshakeswerebritish"Just
Handshakes (We’re British) are a four piece currently based in Leeds.
Sitting incredibly pretty somewhere between the oscillating pop of
Jenny Lewis in her Rilo Kiley days and a doo-wop Metric, their
recordings are packed with just crisp choruses and sweetly decorated
lyrics" THIS IS FAKE DIY (Editor's Pick)
'Officially one of the best UK indie pop bands around.' ROUGH TRADE
Introduced by Tom Robinson & lauded by Steve Lamacq
URGENT TALK
http://www.myspace.com/urgenttalk"UT
take
their cues more from M83's blissed-out take on shoegaze/electronica ('I
Love Our Network)', or The Unicorns at their most bleepy and playful"
DROWNED IN SOUND
"Urgent Talk are therefore a noisy, energetic,
(arguable) pop band with everything going for them. They are, in short,
incredible...Urgent Talk’s existence is definitely a massive win for
the universe" LINE OF BEST FIT
