Born in the middle of a May shower, Piney is a breath of fresh air.

Spring has most definitely sprung, so it's only natural that there are a few more insects in the air, and bewitching songs upon the breeze. Piney Gir seizes the moment therefore to release "Abelha: Bumblebee" her bossa nova tinged tale about what happens when a love affair turns round and really stings you.

This is Fake DIY "Her latest offering knocks the pants off most records you'll hear around at the moment in terms of originality, style and way out there catchy kookiness"

Magnetic Heads

Des Miller's vocal demands attention, with ranging heights and melodies reminiscent of David Byrne swelling over his ever-mesmerising mezzo-baritone. Magnetic Heads bassist Will Miller and drummer Christopher Rudge (also of Dolly Rocker Movement, Flying Foxes ) evoke the punchy rhythms of Scary Monsters , whilst guitarist Evan Lock, pianist Robbie Moore, and new feminine face on keyboards Lucy Kaldor, pierce the steady clonking of cowbells and woodblocks with cranking guitar solos and unforgettable synth melodies.
