Sounds good. Really good.

Re: Northern Portrait- Criminal Art Lovers

music sounds pleasant enough but singer's voice is a bit like that funny fella from Gene (not a huge compliment where I come from)...

So, is this worth checking out? Sounds like? I have a love-hate relationship with modern indiepop. One day I'll cherish it, the next loathe it more than life itself.

Words can be very misleading, so why don't you find out for yourself

I wonder why they're still absolutely unknown in their home country. Seems like they're something like an international insiders tip.

I'm going to order this ASAP, the band is brilliant from what I've heard.

Re: Northern Portrait- Criminal Art Lovers

Am now listening to their ep Napoleon Sweetheart for the third time in a row. I quite like it. Even though their sound is very typical of bands of this kind.

I think they sound like (even) lesser known 90s indie band Geneva...this to me is a good thing but I'm sure not everyone would agree...!

I'm so glad!! His voice was amazing...when they played live it totally blew you away...




Apologies, I digress...

Think I'll buy this Northern Portait album then

The amazing debut album is out now on Matinee. A band that wears it's Smiths influence proudly on it's sleeve.

Every home should have one.

It's a jangle fest and a fine one at that.

Mr Bob. You will love it! Get to Monorail or Avalanche now. Myself and Mr Z concur that it's corker. Very, very reminiscent of early Smiths.

Mr. Fairhead. I'm happy to know, you know, you know. If you see what I mean?

Smiles,

I really need to get this. I will, when I have sufficient monetary funds and not so many driving lessons and IOUs to pay back. They are brilliant.
