I’m quite in love with the debut-single “Cake” from the Welsh 4-piece Race Horses (- and look at that cover art! Amazing!). It’s released on Fantastic Plastic on the 27th of July (but at least here where I live, you can get it on iTunes already now). It’s a wonderful tune, and in the middle of all the obvious 60s influences from several bands beginning with B, I hear sounds that reminds me of Super Furry Animals and a rougher version of Clientele. The single’s second track is a Welsh song “Cacen Magmu” (with an English chorus) with lots of psychedelic elements, strangeness, “lalala’s” and some kind of circus atmosphere. Really good song, that one too. A breath of fresh air, definitely, and I am already looking forward to their debut album. Both of these songs are streamed on the band’s myspace, so head over there for a listen. The single is also available on Spotify, if you have access to the service.
I thought you could spend some of your money on the single, and instead of giving you that, I’ll give you a demo by the band of the song “Daughter Nowhere”, – also a goodie!
