Friday, 21 September 2007Rosie Taylor Project - Black and white films on Bad sneakers records Rosie Taylor Project Black and White Films / Maps for lost lovers Bad Sneakers records Released Sept. 3, 2007 Black and White films take work just to watch. They aren't made with a vocabulary we are used to, sometimes they are silent or subtitled. I'm not used to this and have to really try to forget everything I'm used to and fight not to change the channel. The Rosie Taylor Project's new single 'Black and White Films' however, is easy to understand. Sometimes you don't want to work for your music, I understand, you're getting older, I don't need to be challenged everyday with louder and faster. Just give me something to listen to while I fold some socks. Seriously, we all have socks...I'm not trying to be sarcastic. It won't take long for shops to file this alongside the apparent resurgence of C-86, twee, indiepop, call it what you will but this may outlast a lot of albums in your collection because it isn't really a part of any of this. They could be coming from more of an alt-country place, melodic meandering acoustic and electric soft picking. The vocals from both Johhny and Sophie, work together to nicely lull you to sleep, in a good way, and then a muted trumpet ends every song like closing the book and that's it lights out. This reminds me of feeling sorry for myself with hours and hours of masochistic morrissey and the sundays, or later, the softies. Such beautiful memories. There's no percussion beat to dance to, so this will be for couples only, nice and slo-core, swaying back and forth in the audience. That isn't to say you won't be crying while drifting off to songs about missing the party and just staying in, while it's raining on your bedroom window. Everyone else is doing something better than you. (Don't forget a Belle and Sebastian reference.) Shake it off...this single is still available from Bad Sneakers and hopefully that will cheer your sad bastard self up. Available to pre-order now from HMV or Norman Records or Pure Groove Records or Record Store.co.uk Labels: bad sneakers records, belle and sebastian, C-86, indiepop, rosie taylor project, twee
