from supersweet.

“…Monument Valley, another London-based solo artist masquerading as a band, releases the No Air EP. The title track is a minuscule 1:52 long (presumably he ran out of breath) and sounds like Lackthereof, while the second and third tracks sound more like Scotland’s Admiral Fallow. A promising debut best served on Christmas morning, nursing the hangover from Christmas Eve’s drunken debauchery…”

i’ve never heard of admiral fallow or lackthereof by the way.

we’ve been getting some nice attention over the last week or so, particularly on the radio. b of the bang got played on john kennedy’s xfm show a couple of weeks back, and was played on radio one and radio two this weekend. think it was played by rob da bank and steve lamaq on radio 1, not sure who put it on radio 2. you can have a look at the rob da bank playlist here.

also, from a little while ago, here’s an nme piece on the communion series at the flowerpot. i think the recordings from that are coming out before too long…not sure how legible this’ll be on here but we’re in the cast list and the last para.
