PICTURE OF THE WEEK THE TASTEMAKERSToday’s opinion formers predict tomorrow’s headline acts 1 2 3 4
BRONYA FRANCIS NOTION, ARTROCKER, DAZED & CONFUSED Baby Blue • We Were Evergreen
Baby Blue is just as saccharine as its title suggests. Gleeful three-part harmonies over twee instruments – ukuleles, banjos, glockenspiels to name a few – with a dash of electro to bring We Were Evergreen bang up to date to 2012. So utterly joy- ous, an essential for the summer road trip playlist.
SEAN MCGINTY BBC RADIO LANCASHIRE The Feud • It Ain’t Right Self release
The Feud work hard. They’ve worked tirelessly on their songs and recordings through their DIY approach, whilst also focusing their efforts on gigging and promo. Live, they’re as tight as a gnat’s ass. I love what they do.
CHARLIE IVENS THE LINE OF BEST FIT Jennifer Left • Black DogSinging Hinny Music
The welcome run of kooky-girls-with-excellent-hair (seriously, where are the kooky boys?) has shuffled up a fresh face. Brighton resident Jennifer Left here distinguishes herself from the Gabby Jeans The Greats with an earthy, natural sing-song trill and a keen ear for an infectious chorus.
ANDY FRASER FREE TOBI • Brighten Up My DayMctrax
Cross John Mayer with Justin Bieber and you get TOBI. As soon as you hear him you can’t believe such maturity comes from a 16-year-old. The debut single Brighten Up My Day was written when TOBI was only 14. With such romance and sensitivity it's an instant hit.
SIGNS O’ THE TIMES In At The Deep End Records
has signed female-fronted quintet Aurora (left). An EP is scheduled for release later this year with an album set for shelves in 2013.
Imagem Music USA has signed a joint venture with Cutcraft Music Group, signing artist Chet Faker, writer and producer CP Dubb and singer/songwriter V Bozeman.
