I saw The Envelopes last night for the first time and what can I say, being blown away by their C86 meets The Pixies and/or Pavement sound. The band, a mix of Swedes and French nationals, now based in York, are promoting their new album "Demon" which is getting plenty of rave reviews at present.
They were not even hampered by the small surroundings of Project Orange, a venue i've have not been to before but given their range of American Ales I may well be back! It was not as tiny or cramped as the Betsy Trotwood but did not have a stage. However that did not seem to bother the band or audience one iota despite such close quarters. A cracking gig given that i've only heard the debut single "It's The Law" previously but on this performance alone I will be excitedly getting my hands on the album.
The band will be playing the Montague Arms in New Cross on Thursday September 15th 2005. If you are in London and not doing anything that night do yourself a favour and get down there. In the meantime listen to the debut single and one of it's b-sides.
The Envelopes - It's The Law

You can also stream tracks from the new album via their myspace page.
EDIT: SoundsXP's review of the gig is now up.
