Supine On the Astroturf

Three magical new songs recorded with Ian Catt (Trembling Blue Stars, St Etienne). Like last year's debut album, this new EP demonstrates Fosca's unique ability to effortlessly mix dancebeats with keyboards, guitars, a cello, and Dickon Edward's endlessly quotable lyrics. Lead-track "Supine" is probably the first pop single to consider the temptations of outraging small-town decencies by committing public acts of love on artificial turf as an alternative to school swimming-lessons. A blend of seriously moody guitar-pop and groovy electronica, salvation for fans of Pulp, Denim, Felt, White Town, Moose, Pet Shop Boys… Fosca is Dickon Edwards, former songwriter/guitarist with room-pop-soulsters Orlando, former leader of Sarah Records recording artists Shelley, and sometime guitarist for Brit-Pop up-and-comers Spearmint. Backed by Alex Sharkey of former Sarah band Brighter, keyboardist/vocalist Rachel Stevenson and cellist Sheila Butter, mmm.
