The Left Outsides - And Colours In Between

The Left Outsides are a duo from South London and they feature one time Saloon member Alison Cotton and Mark Nicholas. They were both in short lived psych-folk band The Eighteenth Day of May. A band that I liked a lot. I once caught The Left Outsides live and liked their gentle folk sound. This home made LP continues in a similar vein to their previous release - 'Leaving The Frozen Butterflies Behind'. That EP won a place in my heart and on first evidence this LP could well do the same thing. The duo rarely put a foot wrong and the ten songs showcased here marry the folk sound with a slight penchant for 60s Psychedelia - this 60s feel comes over stronger when Mark handles the lead vocals. All in all this is a very decent début LP - I can recommend it to those that like the folky end of the pop spectrum. The LP is released on 19th February as a limited (250) handmade CDr release and it is available to order for just £6 including postage and packaging. I'd call that a bargain.
They are also playing at the next Sounds XP night at Bar Monsta on the 5th March. Where they are on a bill that includes Esiotrot, Foxes and Hayman, Watkins, Trout and Lee.
