'toothpick
bridge' is the third album by ist, produced by jay 'burzootie' burnett.
fronted by canadian singer-songwriter kenton hall, alongside john
mccourt, brett richardson and flash, the album builds on the
songwriting established on 'freudian corduroy' and 'king martha' with a
blend of warped canadiana and horn-driven costelloesque pop (in the
good sense of the word) with special guests, the swinging laurels,
melvin duffy, dorie jackson, paul swannell and john budding.

Original Review
ist - TOOTHPICK BRIDGE
The new album from the Leicester based band is released 17 August 2009 on Monkey Basket Records
ist are a band whose stock is very definitely
rising. A new single, the highly catchly Pep Talk (out now) and a
sparky album, Toothpick Bridge, out on the 17th August should both
bring the band to a wider audience. Led by Kenton Hall (Canadian born
but now based in Leicestershire) the band spin out a nice line in
melodic rock with the added bonus of fabulous lyrics.
In classic album style Toothpick Bridge
features fourteen songs that range from The Boys Not Right (a song
about Adam Ant!) to Would You Buy A Bible From This Man and through to
the very groovy Remington Steele. The band have also drafted in the
legendary Swinging Laurels as their new brass section!
The ist tour kicks off this month with a showcase gig in Leicester with more dates around the UK to follow.
