South Londoners' latest 7”, very limited and
very very good!
There's a lot of fuss
currently about 1966, due in no small part to Jon Savage's book, 1966
The Year The Decade Exploded. Those of us in the garage world
have always known that the year represented some sort of high water
mark for guitar bands before fragmenting into either drug addled
psych, overblown proto-metal, or back-to-the-country navel-gazing.
Which brings me to The
Fallen Leaves, whose latest single on Market Square Records harks
back to that classic and timeless '66 Beat Explosion, all taut riffs, snappy beats and
guitar jangle. Neither overproduced or overblown, just great taut
songwriting and playing which evokes every era of back-to-basic
bands, from the '60s garage scene, through punk and onto the DIY
ethos of '80s indie.
B-side 'The Inside Of A
Chair' is a more aggressive affair, all instrumental apart from the
spoken “Hello” and “Goodbye” that bookend its short sharp
blast. All in all this 7” is a cracking double header, managing to
bring together all the threads and strands of what a great four piece
band is all about. Get it while it's hot!
Limited to 300 copies
complete with a hand-numbered postcard.
