First of all let’s start with a disclaimer:
Word reached us via the twittersphere this week that a recent
customer of ours had danced so much to 'Prostitute's Handbag' she did herself
an injury. Do be careful with your expressions of joy and delight whilst you
listen to our tunes won't you? Tingle In The Netherlands
cannot be held responsible for any accidents that occur as a result of
listeners’ dancing antics. We don't want some no-win-no-fee lawyer
after us for not providing the proper ladders.
Fortunately for us, Lee Adcock didn’t let a sprained ankle
deter her from writing a wonderful review of our album and also included the
injurious track in a rather fabulous, dancetastic mixcloud that you can listen
to via the widget below. But DO BE CAREFUL!
Lee very kindly gave us an absolutely stella write up in her Soundscape Memoirs blog. 'a blog devoted to introducing and
discussing new releases from obscure, alternative, and otherwise unknown
artists.'
You can read the review in full here.

We’ll just post couple of appetite whetting quotes here for
reasons of personal vanity:
“Helen
penned most of the outrageous lyrics on the LP, but “Mammals”, a disturbing
catalogue of facts on various occupations (“the prime minister produces one
pint of saliva a day…fashion designers will risk their lives to protect their
young…monarchs frequently change sex during adolescence”), was actually Owen’s
brainchild. And it’s just as engrossing – if not more so – than some of Helen’s
wilder narratives.”
(Owen
especially liked that one)
And of
course we love this bit:
"Man, I love
TITN. Perhaps that’s because I admire the old electronic masters –
“Organisation”-era OMD, Human League without the chicks, John Foxx, and so
forth – but also because these two harness all that dark 80s flair and then proceed
to skew it even further into their own distinctive project. Go stream this
sucker on their Bandcamp
page and drop ‘em a few quid for the download (or a few more for the CD) –
you won’t regret it, I swear."
But those
quotes are a fraction of the full write up, so do go and check it out and read it in full!
There’s
LOADS more music recommendations on the site so well worth having a delve around. You can also get a feel for the
author’s musical tastes by listening to the mixcloud below. We’d like to say a
massive thank you for all the support and lovely feedback we’ve had this week.
Thanks Lee!
Never realised you needed a "proper ladder" to dance to "Prostitute's Handbag". Jx
ReplyDeleteIt's just another one of our filthy metaphors Jon. xx
