SLAC005/BS01 TEXAS RADIO BAND

RELEASED: 13th December 2004
RECORDED: Blaen-Y-Cae, Garndolbenmaen
PRODUCED BY: Dyl Mei & Texas Radio Band
There is no particular sound, and it’s not a specific style of music. You can’t pin it down, and you can’t really define it. In their own words: "We try not to express any particular genre."
TRB are five separate pieces of the same jigsaw, who are proving to be a band of substance and simplicity: mixing infectious melodies with effortless pop hooks and a rare sense of humour.
This single is a combined release between us and new London based label Bee and Smoke. Press by So-Called 20th.
"This is a throbbing great electro-pop party conga line, like some beastly creation of Super Furry Animals, Ween and KLF offshoots The Timelords. If you don’t have an imagination yourself, this 7” will do in place of a transplant." - 2-4-7-Music.com
"Are we quite liking that!" - Mark Riley, BBC 6 Music
"Smarter than I was at school, and believe me I was very smart at school" - Adam Walton, BBC Wales
Huw Stephens (Radio 1) Record of the week
"Reclining roving pop at its most splendid curtly tripping about in late 60’s and early 70’s pastures, while retaining a magical omnipresence that once heard will have you hooked and begging for more" - LosingToday.com (Indie Magazine)
