ALLMUSIC The Bats’ first full album continues the early promise of their EPs and, with only the slightest deviations and changes since, established their sound for just about everything that followed. Scott and company may not be the most willfully experimental of musicians, but when they’re on — more often the case than not — their lovely, melancholic songs simply hit the spot. Woodward forms the perfect singing partner for Scott, while guest violinist Alastair Galbraith brings his talent to the fore as he has for so many other New Zealand bands. “Treason” makes for a good start to the album, but the real standout on Daddy’s Highway is the surging “North by North.” Featuring a fantastic Galbraith violin solo, it gives the band the opportunity to show its sometime hidden strengths for more energetic, nervous material. Scott’s vocal performance is one of his best, and the quick, on-edge pace seems to get even more so as the song continues. Quieter songs unsurprisingly abound as well, from the understated sweetness of “Sir Queen” to the gentle keyboard-touched “Candidate.” “Tragedy” is one of the best in this vein, ending in a disturbing low drone (or at least as much of a drone as the generally quick-length songs by the Bats allow for). Though Daddy’s Highway suffers a touch from the same problem that affects all Bats releases — an increasing sameness, especially towards album’s end — it’s still a great full album debut.

Disco e banda sensacionais, super recomendado!!! Upload original feito pelo blog Lazer Guided Melodies, e abaixo um comentário do Gilberto sobre o disco:

Primeiro álbum dessa banda que tocava um mod revival de arrepiar, sem cair nos clichês do estilo. Adicionavam ao mod do The Jam influências da cena indie inglesa da época e do northern soul. Esse disco começa meio estranho, mas da metade pro final encontramos belíssimas faixas, como a balada “The Girl That Touched My Soul”, que lembra até o Biff Bang Pow!, ou “Where The Rythm Takes You”, que tem vocais femininos e nos remete aos bons momentos do Dexy’s Midnight Runners e James Taylor Quartet.

Debut dos dinamarqueses com dez belas canções pop, apesar da lamúria exagerada dos vocais. O som do Northern Portrait tem influências que vão de Smiths ao britpop melódico do Geneva e Gene. Enjoy!

Faixas preferidas: When Goodness Falls e Criminal Art Lovers.

ALLMUSIC British indie pop cult favorites the June Brides were led by singer/guitarist Phil Wilson and guitarist Simon Beesley, London School of Economics classmates who first bonded over their mutual affection for punk. Formed on a lark for entry into a collegiate talent show, the original lineup (dubbed International Rescue) was completed by vocalist Jez Waller, bassist Andy (George) Johnston, and drummer Chris Nineham; after one rehearsal the group made their live debut, winning the battle of the bands competition and a few weeks later making their professional bow opening for the Higsons. Waller and Johnston soon exited, and with new bassist Adrian Carter, the five-piece was soon re-christened the June Brides; in 1983, the band acknowledged their influence to the Velvet Underground by adding a viola player, Frank Sweeney. By the following year, the Junies were a mainstay at Alan McGee’s club the Living Room, and that summer signed to the Pink label to issue their debut single, “In the Rain,” soon trailed by “Every Conversation.” In 1985, the June Brides — by now consisting of Wilson, Beesley, Carter, Sweeney, trumpeter Jon Hunter, and drummer Dave Bickley — issued their first full-length LP, There Are Eight Million Stories; the group was briefly the darling of the U.K. music press, but plagued by financial difficulties they managed only one more EP, 1986’s This Town, before dissolving. Wilson later recorded as a solo artist for McGee’s famed Creation label before retiring from the music business; the June Brides momentarily reunited in 1995 in support of the retrospective For Better or Worse (1983-1986).
