Taking their name from the well known (over there at least) sportsman and previously touring with EMA / blogged almost to death by almost everyone stateside we're finally getting a chance to see them over here. This sentence from Brooklyn Vegan seems to sum up their live shows "There wasn't much room for dancing in the packed room, but that didn't stop people from trying, and their light-hearted and energetic set certainly helped propel me through the rest of the night."

"part of that shambolic, loose guitar pop that has become so popular in the last couple years, but it has subtle layers bringing fairly simple song structures to more atmospheric places." - BBC

Quoth Kitsune! "Citizens! is a fantastic new band freshly signed to Kitsuné. Five handsome London boys who pen songs with a panoramic view. Warm, welcoming, traditional, as classy as marble… icing on cake they are produced by no one else than Alex Kapranos!
Composed by Martyn, Thom, Mike, Lawrence and Tom , Citizens! is a call to arms, a statement, a mark in the sand. Their bold statement is that they reclaim pop cause “Pop is not a dirty word. It’s a holy one.” "

Get People + Sylver Tongue + Young Dreams
Tuesday, February 21
Three new bands for us constituting our February pop moment, one playing their first London show, one over from Bergen and one set of proper, honest-to-god locals.
Get People have released a single on Hit Club, toured with Metronomy & been remixed by Crystal Fighters. Something there caught our eye and here they are. "achingly good bit of synth-pop... the stripped back aesthetic and subtle layering gives it a complex fluidity"
http://www.facebook.com/ getpeople
"Sylver Tongue’s 'Hook You Up' is going on my list of year-end bests. Lusciously wounded vocals headline this purple-toned track, allowing it to possess a naked, sweeping force not unlike the great power ballads of decades past. Except in this one, the power is less about bleating trembling notes than the ability to transform the listener’s mood after one breath. Sure, there are instruments: tambourine clips, watery synths, bubblepop drums, a gauzy bassline—but they’re just a backdrop in front of which our heroine may slink. Lovely, just lovely." - RCRD LBL
http://www.facebook.com/ SylverTongue
"Fusing Tropicália, psychedelic rock, classical, symphonic arrangements and traditional pop recalling the classic sounds of Brian Wilson and Phil Spector"
