Seriously, just buy this record.
Everybody says that you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover and everybody knows that stereotypes are bullshit and dismissive but everybody still has the nasty tendency to rely on previous experience and social conditioning when sizing up and evaluating something new. The Onion said it best, with a healthy dab of snark: “Stereotypes Are A Real Time-Saver.” READ MORE...

I'll be honest, I picked this album to review for Subba-Cultcha cos I'm old now and I needed something a little bit gentle after a four day birthday bank holiday bender. And they're called Laura & Greg which sounds promisingly soothing. Album opener 'Muscle Memory' reassures me that I've chosen well here. A very pretty and delicate little melody gradually builds to a rousing vocal and reminds me that 'These moments are young / you'll forget each one so fast'. God I feel old. Read more...

This week on ‘Inconvenient Interviews‘ I help the amazingly talented indie pop band ‘Laura and Greg’ load up their car for SxSW. Watch as we work ourselves to the bone packing almost everything, but the gum ball machine, and still find time for singing some Disney songs, answering questions, and even accordion playing!

“WE JUST STARTED DOING CHOCOLATE AND VANILLA VEGAN ICE CREAM AND I WAS PRETTY EXCITED WHEN I CAME ACROSS A VEGAN SO I DRAGGED HIM [GREG] INTO THE STORE AND GOT HIM TO TRY IT AND WE GOT TO TALKING ABOUT MUSIC AND MADE A VERY LOOSE PLAN TO JAM.” [41:19]

São estas as canções que desligam automaticamente o interruptor do Inverno e que atraem temperaturas mais confortáveis e a explosão dos tons mais quentes de outras estações, ainda que tudo não passe de sensações sem eco em todas as outras almas alheias a este espectro sonoro. Laura & Greg, ela australiana, ele moldavo mas a residir nos EUA desde criança, tecem uma teia de folk orelhudo onde caem todos os cinzentismos do mundo e onde se derretem quaisquer vestígios de amargura.
Ainda que num desenho de perfil nostalgicamente delicodoce, “Muscle Memory”, o single inaugural do álbum de estreia Forever For Sure, enaltece a delicadeza e a inocência do amor e o saudosismo de tempos felizes em volta dele vividos com as suas harmonias docemente expansivas construídas à volta de uma voz e de uma guitarra, às quais se juntam mais à frente um corpo de instrumentos que lhes confere uma consistência sonora amena e encantadora.
O disco sai em plena Primavera, a 12 de Maio, e nos 11 temas do alinhamento há momentos de folk, indie pop sueco, garage rock e sons sessentistas, onde a sensação de uma intimidade desarmante é a linha condutora. READ MORE
