Liz Lawrence is a performer with a Low Fi past who seems intent on making a louder noise and a bigger splash on latest record Peanuts, just out on Chrysalis records.
Now there's a blast from the past. Weren't Blondie on Chrisalis records. Like that band , this manages to be both arty and radio friendly.
Liz is pictured in chain mail and medieval battle gear on marketing photos for the record. Well if she keeps throwing these fighting poses, I'll keep cracking these weak gags.
Apparently 'crossing her fingers for a nineties revival' which is an odd one. This record joins the dots between Cate Le Bon and Katy J Pearson. A good thing in my book,
Hadn't come across her before reading this earlier. Then a friend emailed me later to say he saw her at Rough Trade East last night. Strange coincidence. Wasn't sure when I started playing it, but ended up rather liking it. I've got a few things for you, too, from the last month...deep breath... Climax Landers, youbet, Female Gaze, Rasco, Chatterton, Workers Comp, Bloomsday, Rose Hotel. Too many, but you may get find something there!
ReplyDeleteOh that's brilliant. More leads. Thanks Darren.
