Meeting Quotations - Blue Desert VideoA new video for the track Blue Desert from Parisans Meeting Quotations. It's quite a departure from the sound on their album but very nice.
News from Susy Blue - 2011 and a small hi (atus)Now for the many of you worrying what has become of Susy Blue over the past 6 months can breathe a sigh of relief – no I haven’t succumbed to the dreaded 27 club that rockstars like myself fall victim to. Yeah – suck that Saturn, I am now past your return! I did not enjoy being 27 in 2011 despite the fact that it rhymed – EVEN though it was a lovely year for me and my swell band. Let’s reminisce…… (briefly i promise)

Latest Reviews
Rave Magazine"The combination of odd yet familiar sounds keeps your attention entirely tuned in. Opening track Moose Hooves, based on Doctor Seuss’s Thidwick The Big-Hearted Moose, sets the bar for the album’s instrumentation, with glockenspiel, pots and pans, banjo, ukulele, pan flute and toy piano"
The Sound of Confusion"Over the course of three self-released EPs, Stockholm quintet Let's Say We Did have drawn comparisons to Pavement and Teenage Fanclub, and listening to their eponymous debut album it's easy to see why. LSWD combine the former's lo-fi slacker-pop with the latter's melodic sensibility and their shared love of warm, mild distortion. As debuts go, they don't come much more solid than this; there's not a weak link amongst these ten tracks"
- It's a Trap!
"Let's Say We Did happily reminds of all things flannel, Big Muffs and youngsters paying dues to the 'Youth. This 7-track album has some killer easy songs, and its straightforward songwriting style minus shoegazer ripping makes it an endearing choice of recent Nordic 90's revival bands"
”The Stars Above Looked So Bright And Green” is the first single from recordings for Let’s Say We Did’s second album.
It’s an attempt to work with contrasts, to find sadness in joy, to find the dirt in the beautiful. An attempt to convey a bittersweet feeling, give the listener a lump in the throat while telling you it’s alright.

Curly Girl
Collected from tracks penned over the last two years, Curly Girl is a tome bursting with a diverse musical palette and thematic intrigue. Explorations of inner and outer space pervade – from the evolutionary intrigue of Burning Star and the regression of Soap, the album begs consideration on multiple levels.

They Will Run
The Sea Thieves are Naomi Thompson and Zac Coligan an independent band from Adelaide, South Australia.
In our music you will hear the pluck of the ukulele, the wheezing of bellows and the singing of a saw. We like to use old sounds to create something new.
