Communique #9

VERY LIMITED QUANTITIES on superior 10" format. London's venerable pop pranksters Sportique release their 3rd mini LP. This time around they lament the passing of more radical artistic movements & attitudes prevalent in the late 60s & early 70s, touching on a bewildering number of musical touchstones along the way. Produced by the hottest property in London right now, Liam Watson at Toerag (White Stripes, The Datsuns, Billy Childish) this is the sound of music stripped of modern artifice. Songwriter Gregory Webster brings the same awareness of pop's back pages to this latest project as he's done since emerging w/seminal jangle pop pioneers Razorcuts, & his band of veritable indie pop legends (Amelia Fletcher, Rob Pursey & Sir Mark Flunder) orchestrate the whole affair as effortlessly as we've come to expect
