offramp Posted December 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 That's not this Drift records is it? (Even if it's not, If you like ambient/glitchy/minimal stuff, head over to their website, as you can download a ton of records for free. The David Newlyn, Set In Sand and Bannister Boy records are all brilliant.)nah - their website is down at the moment, but their blog is still up..."The Drift" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

french_disko Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 10/02/2008: Monkey Swallows The Universe + Laki Mera + Nicky Cairney @ The Tunnels live review in today's Guardian - Monkey Swallows the Universe, Bush Hall, London | Live reviews | Guardian Unlimited MusicMonkey Swallows the Universe Bush Hall, London Maddy CostaTuesday January 15, 2008The Guardian With such an outlandish moniker, you would expect Monkey Swallows the Universe to be reasonably adept at grabbing people's attention. In fact, for much of this gig, their delicate songs, ethereal as a summer breeze, are all but lost in a storm of audience chatter. Conspicuous in the din are a contingent from the band's home town, Sheffield, who cheer lustily at the downbeat chorus to Sheffield Shanty; a group of teenage girls who, true to the band's musical roots, are dressed to party like it's 1986; and one beleaguered chap hissing at people to be quiet. Eventually, he gets his wish.It doesn't help that frontwoman Nat Johnson is visibly quivering with nerves. "I think I'm having a good time," she giggles, "but my heart is going tick, tick, tick." She appears to find it difficult to raise her voice even above the gentlest melodies played by her bandmates: a drummer, a cellist and a duo who swap, with varying degrees of proficiency, between acoustic guitar, lap steel, violin, mandolin, xylophone and recorder. Johnson's songs may be self-effacing, but listen closely and you realise their winsomeness conceals jagged edges and gritty hearts: they need to be played with confidence for their many layers to be appreciated.It is not until the audience hushes that the band find that confidence, and when they do, the show is wonderful. Elizabeth and Mary conjures an atmosphere of tense suspicion and seductive drama, while Florence erupts euphorically, its tale of bitter heartbreak deliciously at odds with the enthusiasm with which cellist Andy George bats balloons into the crowd. The band are soon to take a lengthy sabbatical; let's hope they return with a little more of this boldness. At the Boardwalk, Sheffield, on Friday. Box office: 0114-279 9090. Then touring.
