Andersens & The Starlets - UK Tour
0 Comments Published by dunc on Thursday, July 03, 2008 at 20:57.
I definitely thought it worth mentioning an interesting tour that'll be kicking off next week - with Scottish indiepopsters The Starlets being joined by Andersens, who are visiting from Japan.Andersens perform an interesting mix of pop, folk, and psychedelia. At times their sound comes close to the more laid back side of Hood, and during others they're like Architecture in Helsinki - but always drawing on pop sensibilities, spacious yet diverse arrangements, and the willingness to take songs in interesting direction. They're on top form during songs like Tear, which has a light and playful touch and heart -melting female vocals.
The Starlets are based in Glasgow and have been releasing music for around 10 years now. They have several albums to their name, the most recent being 2003's 'Further Into Night Forever' which was released on SL records.Like Andersens, they often reach for the sensitive edge of the pop spectrum, with hushed and innocent vocals combining with careful instrumentation. The Starlets use guitars as the driving instrument much more though, and songs like New Wave are testament to this.
They are also working on a new album which is being produced by Duncan Cameron who has previously worked with legendary Scottish bands such as Teenage Fanclub and the BMX Bandits.
