A Big Myth Take

Phew. After a week full of finishing essays, exams and being turned down for jobs there's just enough time to post a few of my musical discoveries for this week.

First up, Cats on Fire are good on 3 counts: 1. They have a very silly name, 2. They are from Finland (Scandinavia is good), 3. The lead singer sounds just like Morrissey in this song! Taken from their debut album The Province Complains it's a lovely little ditty which I have been boogying round the lounge to when I'm supposed to be doing my referencing or some such twaddle. I do believe they are playing some dates here in the UK soon, check them out on the official website. Also, info here on the album's distribution.

Next I shall again demonstrate my unerring ability to catch onto bands very late. !!! (Chk Chk Chk) have just released their Myth Takes album, which is probably their 5th or 6th but at least I've found them now. The title track is indeed ace and the official website has some rather intruiging artwork.

I've also been trying to get my head around the new Bjork album, Volta. As you would expect from her it's very very odd, but in a good way. I think. Put it this way, it's growing on me.
