VINYL FORMAT. Over the last decade, London's Comet Gain have proven themselves to be an outfit of brilliant flashes; if not an entirely consistent one, in the rediscovery of '60s Brill building pop kidnapped by '90s DIY kids in love with that they could not have. "Mainlining Mystery (Finchley Road)," written in part as an ode to resurfaced Television Personality hero Dan Treacy and the lost bodies and efforts of those like him, reminds us all that they're not lost so long as we remember. It also works as an   [ read more ]

?British indie-pop quintet Comet Gain formed in early 1993, influenced as much by the riot-grrrl movement as by the music of the girl-group era; comprised of singer Sarah Bleach, singer/guitarist David Feck, guitarist Sam Pluck, bassist Jax Coombes and drummer Phil Sutton, the group signed to the legendary Wiiija label to debut on the split EP Some Hearts Are Paid to Lie, followed in 1995 by the full-length Casino Classics. Comet Gain's next release, The 'Gettin Ready' e.p., preceded the release of their se   [ read more ]

Insound Staff Pick - 2009! Since 1992, beloved British indie act Comet Gain has been rattling the most obscurant of cages in the service of youth culture sympathy, a staccato stream of iconographic missives to 'the kids' as they walk this Earth, cool to the touch and sometimes shaken up inside. If the group hasn't become a household name, it certainly hasn't vanished from sight, even throughout lineup changes, label jumping, and decidedly non-careerist behavior that would have felled thousands of ban   [ read more ]

With his creative hands thus untied, Christian has been free to write some of the catchiest, sharpest tunes in Comet Gain's history. On "Realistes," the band's second album for Kill Rock Stars since the lineup shift, the collision of wintry distortion with keen melodic sensibilities brings to mind San Francisco's acclaimed The Aislers Set (who actually contribute handclaps here). Like all Comet Gain material, the album paints a visceral portrait of the London underground, as seen by such bittersweet veteran   [ read more ]

Comet Gain are from the same underground British pop scene that brought you Huggy Bear, Clinic, Cornershop, and Belle And Sebastian. Songwriter/front man David Feck is inspired in equal parts by The Go-Betweens, Godard, Irma Thomas, dance parties, Dexy's Midnight Runners, falling in love, mod, and hootenannies. City Fallen Leaves is an exploration of what happens in your 30's when you still love all the things you did in your early 20's, when music and love still mean everything but most of your frie   [ read more ]
