Two years back, the 1990s delighted with their debut Cookies. A fiery, fabulous confection of an album, tunes like ‘You Made Me Like It’ and ‘You’re Supposed To Be My Friend’ might have been outsold by the Fratellis, but those who heard them knew this was a band to get excited about. the fact that they had links with the glitterati of Scotland’s indie scene inevitable made them cooler.

Darren Hayman and the Secondary Modern -‘Pram Town.’ (Track and Field)
As I’ve noted before, Darren Hayman is so prolific a songwriter that he makes Mark E. Smith look like the Blue Nile. After a very busy 2008, here comes his long-promised ‘Folk Opera.’ It’s a treat and a half, one of those records that you want to play again and again (I only iPoded my review copy two days ago and according to my iTunes accou
Hayman is an Essex man…er, stop stereotyping, and just listen, alright? This is not an album about XR3is or people sneering at them (hello, Morrissey). Rather, it’s a reflection on the post-war new towns, like Pram Town itself, Harlow, from a man, Hayman, who grew up in a nearby town, Brentwood. In his own words, he loves and hates these towns. It deals with two characters who live there.
So is it a concept album? I guess (I just keep thinking of the worst excesses of prog whenever someone uses that phrase, and it’s more than thrity years since punk came to wash it away). Is it a folksy, rootsy album? Again, sort of…not like last year’s bluegrass album, this is
a folksy and pastoral album. There’s moments of loveliness that have just a whiff of Virginia Astley’s From Gardens Where We Feel Secure. In terms of its’ reflection on life in England, perhaps it’s reference points might be the Kinks’ Villlage Green Preservation Society, in terms of escape the first three Suede albums, and for on the heart English honesty, The Streets’ Original Pirate Material. Though it sounds like none of those records. Maybe a slight no
Etienne have produced…damn it, I’m clucthing at straws and similes here.
But it is Hayman firing on all cylinders. Whilst last year’s compilation of his Holiday EPs felt like a compilation of sketches, this is a fully realised beautiful piece of work, and not just the cover which evokes a beauty out of the aesthetic of town planning. This is an album which rates as one of the best I’ve heard this year, and confirms Hayman as a treasure.

I was given a copy of this a few months ago by Ken MacIntosh, Aberfeldy bass player and a personal friend who features on this record. This started out as a project involving two friends, Andrew McKay (banjo and vocals) and and Jack Richold (violin and vocals). They bought in Ken, Scots folk legend

Fronted by Kirsten Adamson, they are an Edinburgh-based band who seem to have emerged fully formed. They consist of : Kirsten ‘The Boss’ Adamson on Lead Vocals and Guitar, Phil ‘ Fastest fingers in the East ‘ Hopwood on Lead Guitar, Kelso ‘ The cigarrette machine ‘ on Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals, Arron ‘ The muncher ‘ on Drums and Jenni ‘ The voice double ‘ Hopwood on Backing Vocals.

If your heart doesn’t melt, ask your doctor for a transplant. Actually, no, ask for an electric shock. then go back and listen to the Gillyflowers.
I think you will be impressed by what you hear. Check out their myspace and make friends with them. Tell ’em I sent you…
