God save the Clientele...>>>

The Clientele photo shoot in Brick Lane, London...is the shiny new long player from newest members of the T&F family, The Clientele, who in the US of A are labelmates of Arcade Fire and Teenage Fanclub. This their third LP proper sees the band "release their inner Monkees" with a brighter, happier tint to their shimmery '60s West Coast pop.

In singer Alastair's own words, their sound is "a lovely blend of Big Star twisted power-pop and country achin', with flashes of the Beatles at their most joyful and upbeat." Just the thing to bring a little sunshine into these dark winter nights.

You can find "God save the Clientele" at your local record emporium or buy it from us now.


Back to school with Darren Hayman>>>

‘Darren Hayman and the Secondary Modern’ is Darren Hayman’s second full length solo album since dissolving independent legends and John Peel favourites ‘Hefner’ in 2002. ‘Secondary Modern’ marks a long awaited return to the sparse folk pop sound of earlier Hefner recordings.

The main attraction here, however, is Darren’s lyrics as he continues to plough an idiosyncratic furrow through the modern British urban landscape. Subject matter includes declining standards of art education in secondary schools (Art and Design), a love affair from the perspective of a Lacoste logo (Crocodile) and cheap high street engagement rings (Elizabeth Duke). Darren is disappointed and in love with the world and the people he sings about. This album isn’t big, brash, or loud mouthed, rather it is simple, articulate, funny, robust and made with love.

The Broken Family Band leap into 2008>>>

The Broken Family Band photo copyright Alison Wonderland TBFB's superb single "Leaps" is available on lovely seven inch vinyl and download.
The vinyl is limited so get in there quick if you want to grab yourself a copy. You might also like to view the rather amusing video on youtube...

And the long awaited new album 'Hello Love' is also recommended - a superlative, warm-hearted collection of twisted love songs. It’s also their heaviest, most diverse, and – dare we say it – least countrified album to date.

NEW! Watch Leaps video on youtube

Mahogany get connected >>>
 

mahogany groupWe are very pleased to introduce Mahogany, from Brooklyn, NY. Their second album proper is out now on the Track & Field imprint.

" Connectivity!" embraces Factory Records' chill, the Cocteau Twins' radiance, and Brian Wilson's optimism. It is the group's most evocative and delicately complex work, employing every instrument, voice, and magic black box within Mahogany's new studio, the Civil Defense. "Connectivity!" is a two disc set featuring three mixes by Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie, the vocal debut of Lucy Belle Guthrie (daughter of Cocteau Twins’ Robin Guthrie & Elizabeth Frazier), and three mpeg videos. Buy it from us now...
