Whirring - The Joy Formidable

now i make no plans...

...really love the unique sound of Victoria & Jacob - after hearing the rumblings of a new single in progress which will, without a doubt, hit radios near our ears upon release - i was drawn to cyber-stalk for other songs and found With No Certainty (with no difficulty as Google's top result).

They remind me of bits of Passion Pit and Imogen Heap in parts...but i really think they've hit on a sound which will impress all of us foot-tappers, lyric-lovers and beat-matchers alike. Cannot wait to see them live for the first time at The Macbeth in Hoxton this Friday....

all i see is what's in front of me...

don't hold on
go get strong
well don't you know
there is no modern romance

Time, time is gone
it stops stops who it wants
well i was wrong
it never lasts
there is no
this is no modern romance

in time, time is gone
never lasts, stops who he was
well i was wrong
never lasts

this is no
there is no modern romance
there is no modern romance
this is no modern romance
there is no there is no

baby I'm afraid of a lot of things
but
I aint scared of lovin you
baby I know your afraid of a lot of things
but
dont be scared of love

cause
people will say all kinds of things
that dont mean a damn to me
cause all I see
is whats in front of me
and thats you

well, I've been dragged all over the place
i've taken hits time just don't erase
and baby i can see you've been fucked with too
but that dont mean your lovin days are through

cause people will say all kinds of things
that don't mean a damn to me
cause all I see
is whats in front of me
and thats you

well I maybe just be a fool
but I know you're just as cool
and cool kids
they belong together

I can't believe that I said that I love you...

And We Parted Ways At Mt Jade - A Grave With No Name

described by Pitchfork as "lo-fi haze, hypnagogic pop pastiche" i can't get enough of this band. Playing the Shoreditch 1234 festival this month with other No Pain In Pop beauties like Trailer Trash Tracys and Veronica Falls. Musings of a dream pop/shoegaze night on the horizon..

could there be...no modern romance?
