REVIEWS IN FULL:
Jockrock
"Astonishing debut single from men of mystery from somewhere in the
leafy Glasgow suburbs. White Light Unknown is a haunting (musically &
lyrically) little ditty, with just the slightest beat to propel it along.
Inhabit is somehow less upbeat, the fragile vocals hardly getting going.
We have seen queues of enquiring music fans form at the DJ booth in clubs
when this has been played. Which is probably some sort of recommendation."
Losing
Today
" …a fine debut from Glaswegian band Calamateur and first release
for the newly formed Timshel label. Absolutely no details with this except
that it's extremely limited to 100 pressings so purchase on sight because
I certainly think that those of you with a love for gentle pop will want
a part of this. 'White Light Unknown' features some softly spun acoustics,
timidly sparse in approach, nothing too threatening but possessing the
kind of delicate use of vinyl grooves that deserves one of those sit down
and contemplate it all moments in life. 'Inhabit' is my personal favourite
of the two tracks, slightly more happening here but again providing one
of those moments where your head says nothing really out of the ordinary
happening here but your heart suggests otherwise, trembling as if touched
by something altogether magical. File away with the fragile whispers of
Galaxie 500."
Track
and Field
"Starting with a delicately picked tune and hushed vocals that recall
Elliot Smith’s most sensitive moments, this single gradually grows into
a beguiling, bleary eyed, late night glory. Seek it out, great things
could follow.'
The
List
" …is a thing of great beauty as their stark acoustic melodies float
along with sparse but emotive backing."
Boomkat
"Effortless two track single from indie collective Calamateur. Soft
restrained acoustica is the order of the day with mournful vocals and delicate
instrumentation dominating both songs....lovely.” |
