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 ]

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.

It also works as an   [ read more ]
