Ultimately, La Trimouille separates itself from other releases in this genre with its ability to meld great vocal harmonies, interesting instrumentation, the occasional interesting lyrical topic, and even a great use of dynamics.
By Cody Mello-Klein The result of a spontaneous desire to collaborate, numerous label-related activities, and some free time, this joint effort between British solo artists Peter Lyons and Kerry Leatham rises above the standard indie-pop release. Rating: 6. Like this: Like Loading Bio Latest Posts.
Tusk meets Kes? Not quite. But there is a whimsicality and a winsome melodicism that many will find hard to resist. I Don't Know is quintessential 80s coy indie with one ear on the mainstream think Everything But the Girl , although the way Kerry sings "etcetera" will, for some, be a deal breaker. Split for the City has an early Depeche Mode-ish bounce and skip and includes a reference to "slacks" that singlehandedly justifies the Loach comparison.
Much of the backing is synthy, a couple of keyboards being the swiftest delivery method for this duo, even though Leatham started out as a guitarist. If Angela Rippon and Brian Cant wrote some songs about being bored and having affairs and gave it to Vince Clarke to produce, it might sound like this. The buzz : "Like your teddy bear turning around and telling you to fuck off" — Clash. The truth : Almost but not quite Trim-mendous. Most likely to : Split for the suburbs.
Check out this video. Now I want to go bowling! They are from London, like the Olympics. Their music welcomes eighties synth influences besides modern pop artists and cult classics like Belle and Sebastian. This record epitomises the carefree and youthful impact of the summer season, coupled with the foreboding presence of age and growing up.
Here Peter and Kerry attempt to grasp their youth as it slips through their fingers, and the result is an upbeat but desperately frantic record.
