Sing-Sing 'Sing-Sing and I' available from the 4AD store
08 September 05
Sing-Sing are Emma Anderson, formerly of Lush and Lisa O'Neill.
'Sing-Sing And I' is their second album, on their own Aerial Records label, and draws on influences as diverse as folk-rock, a bit of Motown drumming, and just out-and-out-indie-pop! We've done a deal to sell some copies of the album at the 4AD online store - and it's available now!
Here's what some of the critics have had to say
"Delightful swoony Go-Gos's-style pure pop with a kittenish girlie vocal......and a sharp lyrical hook.......Sort of like a beefier Saint Etienne, and every bit as good as that sounds" - NME.
"Packed with melodic, clever vignettes, the standouts are the Alan Moulder mixed 'Lover', the charming 'Come, Sing Me a Song' and the introspective 'Ruby' - Music Week.
"Without a record deal they funded the recording with donations from their very loyal fans. But but this is no ramshackle affair cobbled together in their kitchen. 'Lover' is perfect indie-pop polished to a smooth finish. 'Mister Kadali' stands out courtesy of some beguiling samples of a witch doctor...worth a listen" - The Sun.
The CD includes the animated promo video for 'Lover', directed by the BAFTA nominated Bunny Schendler and Jonathan Hodgson.
