We all like yoghurt

Today's band, YGT, are a quiet duo (well, at least in web terms anyway) that I first spied last June playing to a sparse crowd at Shoreditch's Old Blue Last, a pub owned by uber-cool Londonites Vice Magazine.

It's no surprises they were selected to play there - the set blew me away, mainly because the tastefulness of their laid-back electronica is second to none - I don't think I've ever enjoyed a gig involving two guys twiddling their knobs so much (steady, you know I mean the analogue kind).

The only track that's been on their Myspace since is absolutely beautiful, as was the rest of their set. A bit of an impression can be gleaned from this video, but I strongly recommend checking out the 'GROTD' track on their Myspace page.

Infinity and beyond

There's a lot of shoegazey lo-fi going around at the moment, and we at LTCO are more than happy with that. Infinity Hertz are a relatively new band making exactly this delectable kind of noise with a lovely lovely (double lovely) scuzzy sound. They're planning on releasing a limited edition 6-track EP next month on cassette - the only way to release these things nowadays, darling. Get your mitts on it by keeping up with them at their Myspace, or for a taster of their dreamy sound watch this video for 'Absolute Deliberation'.

LTCO

Right, here's what it's all about, folks......

I'll be trawling the net now and then to find lovely new songs, bands, artists and so on and so forth for all and sundry to listen to.

I'll also be reviewing gigs and club nights, almost exclusively in London cos that's where I'm based but if you have any suggestions elsewhere do let me know!

If you want to suggest an artist, or put you and / or your band forward, let me know at ltcoletthecatout@googlemail.com

Happy listening!
