I had to go to the attic the other day and look for my old records.
This band is inspiring. You know, they sounds like the very early Fairport Convention, (When Judy Dyble used to sing (and knit on stage...).
It's soooo great music, and this is 2005. I can't believe it.
Monika even starts to sing some notes on the chorus too early in What Love Can Do Without (2.12 into the song), and says "oops, sorry". Just like in the classic Daughthers of Albion-LP from 1968. Remember that, anyone? It was one of my favourite psych-rock albums of the sixties. Great, if you can find it (try eBay!!)
Listen to Don't Start Believin for example.
And all of the album is available for download at their site
I am talking of the band Bullette, and their debut "The Secrets".
Strange, great harmonies and innocence. The joy of making music captured in
one piece. No, not Pet Sounds, don't get me wrong, here something cold and reserved is lurking under the surface cravin for your ears (but hiding very well i must say). Another time. This is "The devil in a blue dress":-)
Watch out for Monika Bullette, and Hangnail Phillips and Rob Montejo, too!
A breakthrough will come soon. It really must, because stuff of this calibre can not be hidden and overseen by any record company with some senses still left, and, a contract would suit Monika very well, i think.
