The 2010 eponymous album on the Fortuna Pop! label by the London based twee pop band Allo Darlin' stuck out like a sore thumb compared to most of the dross on the shelves in Barnardos in Stranraer.
A diamond in the rough.
Featuring the dulcet tones of Elizabeth Morris they were a band I know who were a firm favourite of Drew and not surprisingly Brian and a good few others I suspect.
I've a digital copy of their final single Hymn on the 45 from 2006 but this is the first of their three albums that I have managed to acquire. I shall endeavour to track down the other two.
Obvious comparisons to the likes of Camera Obscura which let's face it is no bad thing.
I'm putting this one down as a find.
Allo Darlin' - Dreaming
Allo Darlin' - Heartbeat Chilli

ReplyDeleteIndeed
Slightly disappointed that this isn't a tribute to Tippa Irie
ReplyDeleteI'm not, that Tippa Irie song is even worse than today's offerings
DeleteI would put this down as a find too. Hope you luck out and get the other two albums as well. Sorely missed band.
ReplyDeleteThe Big Lebowski was on tv here this afternoon.
ReplyDeleteI suspected you would here from Brian on this one, like him I miss Elizabeth Morris and the guys. You need the whole back catalogue in your life, not least Tallulah
ReplyDeleteahem, hear!
