wintergreen clockwork
mice / autumn leaves ~ released 22nd august 05
wintergreen
are, to paraphrase red ken, "the world in one band", as long
as the world includes only america, england, wales and belgium.
employing the best looking technology capitalism has to offer,
they effortlessly mould their experimental instincts around
an impeccable pop sensibility.
testament
to the scope and diversity of their musical backgrounds, wintergreen
have been bombarded with a barrage of incongruous critical reference
points from their formative years onwards. manc listings bible
city life described them as "mercury rev conducting belle and
sebastian with a side order of aphex twin."
wintergreen
have released two singles: the double a-sided clockwork mice/autumn
leaves (2005, tbilissi
recordings) and 2003's self-released debut, the magic
road.
"simply wonderful stuff … rushing pop that charismatically engages
toy electronics, melodicas and
strumming guitars" - losing today
"i heart wintergreen
i do … without doubt one of the most promising debut records
i've heard in
a long time" - do something pretty
"radiohead caught with their pants down in a primary school
music room" - careless talk costs lives
