COPY HAHO

From Stonehaven, a hotspot for great music, Copy Haho have been increasingly impressive as their career has taken off. They have just finished recording their first long play at Scotland's finest studio, Chem 19, with Jamie Savage. Very well known on the Scottish / UK music circuit and radio, this is a rare opportunity to catch them live in Aberdeen. Last year saw them tour the continent with their pals Los Campesinos. Expect some new songs to be previewed and a GREAT headline set as its been over five years since our last Copy Haho promotion.

The tourists from this show will be present at Primavera Festival and all their current releases are on the Brooklyn label Olde English Spelling Bee which is gaining lots of plaudits for the artists it has released product by.

JULIAN LYNCH

We are delighted that Julian is to return to play another IMP event. Julian studied at the University of Aberdeen and played a gig as Lese Majesty opening for Larkin Grimm at The Tunnels, and boy did he WOW. It is no surprise he is starting to get superb reviews for his ehthnomusicology work and his releases cover an amazing array of music genres that are really difficult to define. His new long play Terra is scheduled for the end of April and is already being touted as even better than Mare his last release, so that will be some feat.

DUCKTAILS

This review says a lot: "New collection of sunbleached songs and strange, melancholy instrumentals from Matt Mondanile aka Ducktails, who also passes muster as the guitarist from Real Estate. Mondanile combines a hazy surf/pop sensibility with primitive instrumentation to generate a teenage neverland complete with heavenly Beach Boys harmonies and dreamy psychedelic guitars. Some of the instrumentals almost touch on the kind of naive basement pop of Calvin Johnsons great run of early K cassettes but theres also a heavy 80s Flying Nun/Go Betweens vibe complete with chiming Byrds-style guitars and keening, laconic vocals. As with all Mondaniles work the simplicity of its construction kinda belies the emotional weight of the material making this a supremely personal and inexplicably affecting release. The best Ducktails yet? Either way this is a totally memorable set that is impossible to get out of your head".

BIG TROUBLES

Debut full-length from this duo / quartet who play euphoric fuzz pop inspired by UK noise like The Jesus & Mary Chain, Pastels, My Bloody Valentine, Meat Whiplash et al but given a basement USA overhaul so that it touches on the less jam / more song focussed end of the Twisted Village catalogue.

Hey, don't go killing the vibe.

Didn't you hear me? I said everything else was great.

Ducktails is part of this unexplained revival of bands who sound like they recorded inside a tin can in their bedroom and get away with it because people are too busy sucking their dick to realise that their music isnt interesting. For another example, see Best Coast.

Errm, it was sort of a joke really, based on this (which you won't like):

BIG TROUBLES

Ridgewood, New Jersey's Big Troubles play a loud and dreamy strain of guitar-pop, whose releases for labels like Olde English Spelling Bee and Underwater Peoples have been desribed as a dreamy, head spinning blast of fuzzed-out bliss. ...totally damaged and beautiful, Big Troubles grab the reverbed-out U.S. underground and rip it a new one. gotta be heard to be understood. - Rough Trade

Norman Records on Julian Lynch's latest release

Kinda wish I didn't have to review this album. 'Mare' was my favourite LP on 2010 by a frickin ' mile and a half so 'Terra' was always gonna be a difficult one to get into. Trouble is, I can't help but compare the two and I'm gonna need a fair few listens before I can commit to a definitive opinion on it. Not that this is too much of a worry as 'Terra' sounds instantly fantastic. Sure, it begins with a blast of saxophone which is never welcome in the Business Lady household but before you know it our boy Lynch is lulling my mildly outraged psyche with beautiful eastern infused jams complete with hand percussion and loosely strummed acoustic guitar. Lynch's vocal is one of my current favourites and I dig the way he'll try anything, stretching his voice as far as it will go. Opener 'Terra' is a like a blueprint for everything that is good about his style and from there on out it's clear sailing; beautiful guitars, light percussion, warm synth/piano tones and incredibly well arranged songs. One thing that strikes me about Julian's work is that it shows no pretensions to being fashionable or hip. Recent footage of him on Pitchfork soloing for 30 minutes in a Gilmore style over a slightly ham-fisted reggae infused country rock jam is testament to that yet it's still my favourite video currently doing the rounds on the site. Also love the fact that the press release for 'Terra' reads more like a bog standard CV than a testament to the power of Julian Lynch's popularity. Humble, gifted genius is at work here.
