just got back from a party where someone sang me this whole song. think they did it justice too.
reminded me of this total banger.
we played a show at the buffalo bar the other night with marques toliver, lovely crowd and atmosphere and great to hear marques play again. when i was looking for a photo i found he’d written a little blogpost about the night here.
he was on jools holland a little while ago too, i think he’s one of the first unsigned people to be on it..video after the jump
been meaning to link to this for ages. our good friend olivia rose took a few photos of me a little while back which we’ve been using on the myspace etc. a couple more of those photos are below and her website’s here. she cool.
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.
free download from the communion website here. all you need to do is enter your email address. you can also buy the physical version for 3 pounds, that’ll be set up later today..
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.
always sort of intended to update this a bit more than i have been. now that the record’s finished and coming out i’m going to get on it. will be putting up things that are happening.
