What we say

Rating: ecstatic This record left our BRIAN D feeling ecstatic.

Navvy are the latest hopes from Angular. 4 songs (Robot, Letter, Strange Book, Sticker) that remind me of some mental mid 80's Bogshed style band. 'A' side has rudimentary yelping guitar, simple frantic percussion embellished with cowbell, gibbering lyrics spat out in a frenzy of boggle eyed irrelevance, a crackpot drum machine exhaustably trying to keep up with the spiky slamdancing racket, Flip over for 2 more compulsively eccentric songs of post (cow) punk insanity. A lil' bit Devo, a spot of Bis, a smidgeon of anarchy. Uncle Peel would have loved this record with it's hollow grumbling bass, jerky guitars, call & response lyrics & moshtastic cartoon spirit. Discordant DIY pop with an essence of the past but the heart of NOW. Brilliant stuff!

What the label says:

The ‘4 Songs’ EP is the debut release from newly signed eccentric Sheffielders Navvy.  ‘4 Songs’ is the brilliantly out of step debut release from Navvy, the skew-whiff, percussion heavy, garage-punk combo. Claire plays the drums and sings, Daf plays the guitar, Marie has her percussion tree, and Keith plays bass and sings.  Produced by Alan Smyth (Pulp / The Long Blondes / Arctic Monkeys), the EP brings together the band's first four songs, each a yelping mini-narrative set to clip-clopping noise-pop.A video for lead track 'robot' features the band in a retro-futuristic Sheffield.

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.
