What we say

Rating: happy This record left our Phil feeling happy.


Grantura have a 7" out this week on Ruffa Lane (the home of Lucky Soul).'Waves' is a bouncy 70's sounding pop tune with it's heart in jangly indie and American country twinged rock (Crosby Stills & Nash etc).. In fact it sounds an awful lot like The Byrds. The press release was spot on for this one. Not much else to add aside from it's a strong little tune.

What the label says:

Debut single from the country-tinged SE Londoners on Lucky Soul’s label. A departure from the classic gal-fronted indie pop of Lucky Soul, these fellow South East Londoners are fresh from support with artists such as The Broken Family Band and have been picking up strong radio support from the likes of Gary Crowley at BBC London. With a nod and a wink to The Band, The Byrds, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Elliott Smith, ‘Waves’ is a faithful ambassador for the Grantura style. It ebbs and flows through nostalgic sepia-washed American alt-rock, but its lush harmonies, warm kindly guitars and understated honest vocals are evocative of a sound that is unmistakably British and 21st century in its delivery.

About the humble 7":

The humble 7" is the smallest of the vinyl formats (not including the ridiculous 5") and it's the perfect medium for transporting a couple of new songs by up and coming bands straight into your ears. They're fun and they take up less space in your house than something bigger would. They come in a plethora of exciting colours and fantastical packages, and you can fit about 14 minutes onto one 7". You may have to get up every few minutes to put a new record on but think of the exercise. Don't forget every record you buy plays at least 2 speeds (depending on your stereo) and you need to play all records on all speeds to get the maximum joy from your purchase.
