The first ever Resonator Presents show is coming up very, very soon…
What’s that, you say? You’ve “forgotten”? You need “help remembering”? Howabout a flyer?
I can’t blather, praise or rave (and I’m fully aware of my word choice there) on the music Penelope and Stephen make, and at this point I’m just belaboring my own quotes-”prettydrone”, “lush and gorgeous”, “music for cats to sleep to”-all of the above and more.
The first song to surface from Lismore’s new E.P., in case you missed it LAST time I posted this monster of a gauzy, fuzzy elec-done glitch-rave jam.
It’s tacky (or at least achingly uncool) to cradle, nurture and fall madly in love with cover tunes.
(so, then, what excuses that whole Jose Gonzalez thing last year? Oh, I digress…)
I shirk any and all cool points, then, when I say that this song, a cover of the Smashing Pumpkins’ Melancholy alt-classic, gets as much play in my iTunes as any Lismore original. They know the song inside and out, and Penelope’s voice brings out an ache and a longing that got avalanched over by the Corgan whine.
So, if you’re anywhere at all, you have no excuse to miss this Friday, the 29th. 7 P.M. acoustic at Wordsmiths Books (free), 9 P.M. electric at New Street Gallery (a fiver for cover). It’s worth noting that our own Deejay Hacks will be playing for a bit at Wordsmiths to get you in the proper, chilled and spaced frame of mind.
good skills once again le resonator. nothing beats ‘come undone’ for a rainy train journey soundtrack.
