Here is a new song that I just finished this morning, called The Wind. I'm not too sure what it is about so if you have any suggestions, feel free to send them over so that I have a more interesting line to say than "This is The Wind" at gigs. Cheers!
Whispered the wind through the window "sing me your song"
The blizzard it grew with the greens and the blues of the sun
You tell me a secret i already know
But i promise to keep it long after you go
Whispered the wind through the window "where did they go?"
Whispered the wind through the window "tell me no lies"
Blistering through all the oaks and the yews in the night
You tell me a secret i already know
But i promise to keep it long after you go
Whispered the wind through the window "take me home"
And we'll find a way to make this ours
Can't we just escape and leave into the night
In a different place and time you would be mine
But now you just take flight
Whispered the wind through the window "sing me your song"
A spring breeze that blew past the lambs and the ewes all day long
You tell me a secret i already know
But i promise to keep it long after you go
Whispered the wind through the window "where shall we go?"
And we'll find a way to make this ours
Can't we just escape and leave into the night
In a different place and time you would be mine
But now you just take flight

Six Fresh Picks for April
Each month I will giving a shout out to a handful of the best unsigned/self-produced music that my ears come across. This April is the first one to give you a taster!
Normanton Street - "Take A Walk With Me"
Combine soulful vocals and guitar licks, add in some air-tight drums and sexy bass and sax and you are starting to scratch the surface of what Normanton Street have to offer. Regulars on the Brighton and London music scenes, the band are on tour this April heading to Liverpool, Bangor, Cardiff and Newport. Smartly dressed and with music to impress, this band might be right up your street. Their recent EP, 'Phoebe Freya' is available to download for just £1 from their website.
--------------------------
Time For T - "Free Hugs"
Bringing free hugs to the streets of Brighton on a sunny day with this chilled out tune, Time For T's music video is heart-warming and uplifting in equal measures, as well as providing a valuable social commentary on city life in Brighton. The song comes from their upcoming self-titled EP which will be out in June. With a strong local following, these boys always put on a good show and are well worth checking out. Fusing world music influences, bossa nova rhythms and smooth guitar melodies and vocal harmonies, Free Hugs could well be the feel-good track for your rainy days.
--------------------------
Beautiful Boy - "Love Me More"
With the driving rhythms of the Kinks, Beautiful Boy are a highly energised outfit, with highly danceable rhythms rocking out under the punchy and clear vocal delivery. The video is great too, watching the drummer give his kit a good battering in the park in front of a football goal. Festival ready tunes like this will surely grab the attention of all the right people. With a cinematic sound, Beautiful Boy would be best served cold with The Smiths and Arcade Fire.
--------------------------
TMC - "Forest Flood"
Stafford 3-piece Twerking Mens Club (TMC) is one of those bands with a silly name that rolls off the tongue far too easily. Beneath their quirky personalities lies a wealth of songwriting experience which makes this recently formed band punch well above its age category, with a solid set of songs already under their belts. The two vocalists juxtapose their melodies with ease in this Garageband-recorded record which has impressively high production values, thought-provoking lyrics and catchy melodies. It is rumoured that Miley Cyrus is hoping to make an appearance in the music video but the band did not want her to interfere with the narrative.
---------------------------
Sabrina Gunston - "Drowning"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5tb9qk79IcM
Occasionally you are fortune enough to catch something just before it blossoms into something beautiful. Brighton singer-songwriter Sabrina Gunston is one of those things. After stumbling upon this new track a couple of days ago, I was very surprised that it was the first original track that she had uploaded. Her voice is instantly captivating with each syllable carrying with it an emotional depth and weight far beyond her years. The song has a rich r'n'b vibe, with a hint of Alicia Keys in the predominantly piano and vocal arrangement. Keep your eyes peeled and watch out for more tracks soon hopefully.
----------------------------
Kate Ashton-Butler - O'er The Mountainside
Mancunian songwriter Kate Ashton-Butler was hiding south of the border in Kingston upon Thames when she discovered her songwriting talent and drive whilst studying Journalism at university. Her unique and quirky low-fi sound is endearing; her songs often sound like 17th Century madrigals with modal melodies and intricate vocal harmonies. With lyrics combining archaic literary references and subtle sexual wordplay, Kate's songs are charming, quaint and very English. This song-churning minstrel is a busy one so follow her progress on her soundcloud.

Joan As Police Woman Interview
Check out my interview with Joan Wasser aka Joan as Police Woman here:
http://www.electric-banana.co.uk/music-interviews/joan-as-police-woman-interview/
http://www.electric-banana.co.uk/music-interviews/joan-as-police-woman-interview/
Joan As Police Woman
Joan Wasser, more commonly known as Joan as Police Woman, has had a diverse and interesting musical career so far, starting out as a classical violinist before segueing into rock and pop via some heavy-hitting friends, such as Anthony and the Johnsons, Jeff Buckley and Rufus Wainwright. Her new album, The Classic, is an instantly catchy collection of new soul and motown tracks, with plenty of oomph to have you dancing at the live shows across the UK and Europe over the next two months.
Electric Banana talked to Joan about her roots, her new album, and what kind of law enforcement officer she would most probably be.
When did you first decide that you wanted to venture away from your classical roots of music to play in rock groups and did you know straight away that it was going to be the start of something big?
First of all I love “the start of something big”. Thank you for that. When I moved out of the house to study classical violin, I moved to Boston where there was so much music being made of all kinds. I loved classical but loved music in general. I began playing with some of my guitarist friends and had to learn how to play by ear and trust my instincts, as I had always played off sheet music. I started doing shows with them and loved that I felt like I could be more myself in that setting. I began to take a lot of session gigs, really any opportunity I heard about, I took. In Boston, many people were learning to be recording engineers, needed a violinist for their demo, etc. I got a lot of experience playing on many styles of music with varied expectations for what they wanted from me. It was the start of my move out of the classical world although I continued to study. Studying taught me discipline and that is probably the most important aspect of doing anything well. I wasn’t sure it was the start of anything big but I did know that I loved it. I believe that if you love something like I loved playing music, then you’re going to figure out a way to do it.
Pretty soon after coming out as ‘Joan as Police Woman’ you were headhunted by Rufus Wainwright to play in his band an open up on his tour. Did you feel ready for this opportunity when it came?
Oh dear- I sure didn’t. I rushed to finish the EP I was working on so that I had them to sell on the road when I left in Feb 2004. My second show with Rufus was The Beacon Theater. I was opening solo at The Beacon Theater! I was unbelievably freaked out. I had seen Nina Simone there most recently and was beside myself that I would be on the same stage. But if I get an offer, I take it. If I can’t cut it, it will be clear later. But that has never happened. I think the accepting of opportunities is 92% of success. Leap first. Look later.
What have you been up to since your previous record, The Deep Field, in 2011? Have you been in hiding working on the latest record?
Hmmm… let’s see. I wrote a whole record with David Sylvian and recorded half of it, which will be finished at some unknown point. I toured opening for Lou Reed and singing in his band. I wrote a record with a new collaborative project with Benjamin Lazar Davis called 2001 which will be recorded in May. I played Antony’s Meltdown Festival. I did a group show tour in the UK on the music of Sandy Denny. And yes, I wrote this new record. The new record ‘The Classic’ has a really strong Motown vibe, opening confidently with “Witness”. There seems to be a bit of a revival scene at the moment, with artists like Plan B, Duffy and John Newman in the last decade. Do you think it is on its way back in? In my opinion, Motown didn’t ever leave. The influence of that music has always been such a part of my life. It’s what America calls home in many ways. From then on, music was never the same and the bar had been raised so high that it’s hardly ever been reached again.
The cover of the new record has a slight Goldfinger vibe. What was the idea behind the album artwork?
I didn’t intend any Bond reference but I get it- I’m gold, she’s gold. The difference is I stayed alive. I wish there was some grand story to go along with it but I just have a thing for gold… can you blame me?
Who are you listening to at the moment?
“Easy” by Son Lux Cass Mccombs new album Elysian Field’s new album Ghostpoet
This tour looks like a pretty intense one, covering most of Europe over a 2 month period. What sort of preparation do you have to do for a tour like that?
I rehearse a lot with the band, which is now 4 strong for the first time. There’s Parker Kindred on drums, Matt Whyte on guitar and Eric Lane on Moog bass and keys. They are amazing musicians and are easy to rehearse with. Otherwise, there isn’t all that much you can do to prepare to leave for 2 months; it’s just an unnatural act and will feel as such until at least a week in. I try to see all my favourite people and then get on the plane, knowing I won’t see my bed again for 8 weeks. If I think about it too much beforehand, it just gets freaky.
Finally, if you were a policewoman, which section do you think you would work in and what would you have a reputation for?
Ha! Oh Shezus. I do not think I would enjoy being a police woman….seems like living hell actually. I’ve got a good feeling that the TV interpretations are not in any way representative of the job itself. Do you think they’d let me be their musical guest? I bet cops could use more music in their lives.
Indeed. Cops can watch the title track from her new album below. The song features a street-corner doo-wop bass vocal from fellow singer-songwriter Joseph Arthur, plus a human beat-box backing from none other than US comedian Reggie Watts.

Foster The People Album Review
Check out my review of the new Foster The People album, Supermodel:

ALBUM REVIEWS
Foster the People – Supermodel
What’s This?
The long-anticipated follow up to the former LA jingle-writer Mark Foster’s alt-indie/pop anthem-filled debut album,Torches (2011). With the explosive commercial success and longevity of ‘Pumped up Kicks’, I think it’s fair to say that their following have high hopes and expectations for this new record. Produced by award-winning heavyweight producer and songwriter Paul Epworth – Adele’s partner in crime for the Academy Award Winning ‘Skyfall’ – we can expect both big and interesting things from Supermodel.
And What’s It Like?
From the opening track ‘Are You What You Want To Be’ it is clear that the album is going to be a departure from the norm, combining a stadium/festival chorus with a Latin American flavoured verse. The songs are synthy, funky and pretty commercial BUT not in the bad way. It is more like in the way that Ellie Goulding or Bastille are commercial; the music is still interesting and intricate, it just feels like something you are already comfortable listening to – which isn’t a negative thing when a lot of relentlessly pioneering bands are making it more than a little difficult for newcomers to get into their music.
The sparkling production of Paul Epworth is surely to credit for the very clear and polished sound of the new record, which despite being a spring release I am sure will come into its own in the summer, particular with instantly catchy big-hitting tracks like ‘Best Friend’ and ‘Ask Yourself’, which you’ll be singing along to long after the brief window of shorts and vests that we call summer has passed.

Final Verdict
Supermodel is diverse, eclectic and full of life, the sort of record that you’d put on to liven up a party or get you in the mood for a night out. Each track is tightly packed with a lot of substance and there’s even an acoustic number to finish the album off. The record is sure to keep the existing fan-base and reach out to a new audience too!
