I think something is off with those guys. Their ascension seems off to me, they aren't that good, there are plenty of better bands playing at the Windmill but for some reason these guy are the chosen ones.
I might be being overly cynical but thing just don't add up.
:EDIT:
I just looked up the credits of their first album, it's produced by my current fav producer James Ford and mixed by the legend Alan Moulder, they even got a full orchestra. This is pretty much unheard of for a debut album. They don't even have a drummer!
Someone at Island records must really really really like them. It's all a bit bonkers, I'd love to see what their record deal is because the budget for that album must have been huge!
Damn, it was also record at The Church Studios.
- defrost 2y agoYeah, call it luck if you like, IIRC the Violent Femmes rapidly ascended to fame on the back of busking in the right spot for the right person to see them We could argue that this particular girl band had a "cute" video that infatuated a connected producer, or ... There are few positions in the spot light and they're taken up by a fortunate few who happen to hit a sweet mix of hard work, connections, and sheer luck by varying degrees.
