Isn't it just sickening when people are in more than one good band? It's bad enough when we have to be jealous of the people in one, never mind if they spring up another one as if it's the easiest thing in the world. Two bands is fine, but two good bands is just showing off.
Today's duo, The Proper Ornaments, contain one of our old familiars from Veronica Falls, something that only dawned on me when I went to see them in the flesh. And guess what? They're good! James Hoare of The Proper Ornaments is not only from Veronica Falls but was in the not-half-bad Your Twenties for a time before being ousted. And it certainly didn't do him any harm, as he clearly has a taste for reet good indie music. It's a bit surfy, quite a bit retro, and it has poppy harmonies and pretty melodies - all the things that are cool at the moment, but it's nice and sleepy too. It feels like summer, which is definitely what we all need a dose of right now.
Check out any of the tracks on their Myspace, they're all good.
