2. Her Black Eyes (Huw Stephens Session)
Deep in mid-winter, both seasonally & economically, it's the most satisfying thing to unveil a band so positive in their outlook & sound that they're likely to turn the indie genre known predominantly for it's moodiness unashamedly 'upside!
Little Comets craft music to counter-act the chill factor of their Newcastle-upon-Tyne rehearsal facilities. Echoing the boisterous exuberance of 'I Should Coco'-era Supergrass, coupled with a lyrical adventure more reminiscent of a by-gone era that thrust such things as XTC into the mainstream!
"with more invective than the average detective, she questions me on the lawn - windows ajar, tonight I will sleep in my car!" It's not a surprise when the band suggest they are influenced by writers such as Jonathan Safran Foer, Seamus Heaney & Roald Dahl, rather than any clichéd rock heroes!
To complement the band create simultaneously epic & flowing soundtracks of energy & emotion. The blend is touched by surges of Morricone as much as moments of improvised rhythms sourced from kettles, sofas & all manner of peculiar percussion, usually assembled hanging from the roof of venues when they perform, in order to grab that moment that matters. This band are truly moving, and grooving at the same time, and B-side, 'Her Black Eyes', illustrates such subtlety, making sweet melody of menacing subject matter whilst exhibiting their unique outdoor vocal recording style!
Fear not..the future is bright, the future is full of Little Comets!
