new SHRAG and FREE Christmas ep# On Mon 30th Nov 2009 @ 7:39pm John said... yup... the brand new single from Brighton's SHRAG arrived today:RABBIT KIDS / ERRATIC FICTIONS 7” (Where It’s At Is Where You Are) Shrag release their 6th single for WIAIWYA on December 14th. Mixed by Woodie Taylor (Comet Gain/Love Is All), ‘Rabbit Kids’ is the first offering from their upcoming album. The new single has already been previewed in Pitchfork (28/10/2009): “… “Brighton, UK-based quintet Shrag, like many of their 1970s indie-punk forebears, are one of those bands whose tunes and natural charisma could easily endear them to a wider audience, but whom the vagaries of record release dates, hype cycles, and airline prices have so far conspired to keep a well-loved secret...(Rabbit Kids) is bright, scrappy, and exuberantly melodic enough to rank alongside tracks by Love is All, the Long Blondes, or early Los Campesinos!. A few more like this, and Shrag might break through yet…” AND the December release from the FREE wiaiwya monthly singles club is a 4 track ep of Christmas songs, natch, two covers and two originals DECEMBER 2009 - wiaiwya058 - Various Artists - Happy Christmas 2009 first up is HONG KONG IN THE 60S with their take on the Beach Boys WINTER SYMPHONY, all droney and broadcasty and morriconey and utterly lovely http://www.myspace.com/hongkonginthe60s then the LAST DINOSAUR go all melancholy for THE WORST CHRISTMAS WE EVER HAD, and acoustic departure from their epic debut long player "Hooray! for Happiness" http://www.myspace.com/thelastdinosauruk OH, ATOMS reinterpret Wham's LAST CHRISTMAS as a folky boy/ girl duet http://www.myspace.com/ohatoms and finally GREGORY WEBSTER gets out his trusty 12 string, and invites PAM BERRY round to re-record the classic, WINTER from his first solo record http://www.myspace.com/gregorywebster
