They just finished a small UK tour last night with more dates coming in June in anticipation of their debut album release later this year.Ī beautiful, drowsy middle-America charmer from Rich Price, who was born in Nigeria (to British/American parents), and has lived in Africa, Asia, and England before settling in San Francisco. Some of the best na-naaing I’ve heard in a while, this one sticks in your head (but in a good way).
I did think it was funny how one reviewer said it made him want to ‘gouge his eyes out with salad tongs,’ but he just must have been having a bad day ‘cos this is good stuff. This one’s a very pleasant piano-based tune with great hooks from The Feeling, a London five-piece reminiscent of Coldplay, Supertramp, or even a little Chicago. Nice acoustic songwriter’s album – oh, and the album is not as twangy as this song. Dad also plays guitar on five tracks, and fellow second-generations songsters Rufus and Martha Wainwright join Teddy for a song. Here is a hidden track from the end of the CD, a lovely old-fashioned sounding duet with his mum. But Teddy Thompson does a stand-up job in his own right, having released a great sophomore album called Separate Ways. Their new album Vision Valley comes out April 4 (or April 3 for you Brits).īeing the son of British troubador Richard Thompson (sometimes called “The Bob Dylan of Britain”) leaves some mighty large musical shoes to fill.
This one will only be up for 48 hours, so snag it fast. I like it much better than the other new single, Gross Out, which I mentioned a few weeks ago. Here’s the new one from Australian rockers The Vines, which NME calls “garage rock’s equivalent of an acid bath.” Jumpin’ straight-driving rock with handclaps.
