After embracing and repelling various other members, Tim, Pete, and Paul were joined in 1998 by Shannon Mary McArdle, a girl with an outstanding working knowledge of the folk/country tradition and an unalloyed affection for the songs of the Brill Building and Roy Orbison.

GLÖS - PUBLIC SPEAKER


ARTIST / BAND: GLÖS
SONG (MP3): PUBLIC SPEAKER
ALBUM: Harmonium
FILE UNDER: Indie / Ambient / Rock
LABEL: lovitt records

INFO: It all started as a few musical file transfers from laptop to laptop in a van while touring Europe as the band Engine Down, and ended as a full-blown album of musical compositions by means of the internet from opposite corners of America. Glös started as Keeley Davis (former frontman of Engine Down and bass/synth player for Denali) and Cornbread Compton (former drummer of Engine Down, Biology, and currently Heavens). Many years of playing in Engine Down together proved the duo had a naturally unique style of meshing melody and rhythm. When the discovery of song creation on computers became a reality, the two found strength and freedom in writing separately and then collaborating. Adding to each other's songs as if they were created mutually in the same room was natural and noticeable.

THE MARY TIMONY BAND - KILLED BY THE TELEPHONE


ARTIST / BAND: THE MARY TIMONY BAND
SONG (MP3): KILLED BY THE TELEPHONE
ALBUM: The Shapes We Make
FILE UNDER: Indie / Rock / Other

LABEL: Kill Rock StarsINFO: Mary Timony’s latest solo project, The Golden Dove, lends a refreshing twist to traditional song structures, exploring sound and composition in her own inimitable style. Musically, Timony mixes up 60s psych folk, experimental electro grooves and lengthy prog-rock guitar jams. What results is music of melancholy beauty, sweetness tinged with darkness, conjuring images of middle earth, fairies, goblins and ghosts that lurk in every corner. Sparklehorse’s lauded frontman, Mark Linkous, contributes both on the production credits and as a guest musician. However, most of the music is performed by Mary herself, a virtuoso guitarist and self-styled icon.

He was on Lake Braddock's Math Team and claimed to be "pathetically happy" upon defeating the math team of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology one year.[1]

The closet was the only place to put the computer that they used to record songs. They were content doing this for a while but eventually decided to send these songs out into the world. The first step was to form a musical group. Meredith had never played a piano before but she was willing to give it a shot. She had known Kyle for a decade or so and he decided to try playing the bass. Jessie was a new friend from Arizona who was making a big splash in LA. They all thought that since she was a gifted dancer she would make a good drummer, and so Jessie learned to drum.

INFO: I was born in Northern Ireland, grew up in Hull/Manchester and now live in London - squeezing into the already over-subscribed 'vaguely lost 20-something arts graduate' demographic. I've played piano since I was 4, learnt a bit of cello, took drum lessons for a few years, and taught myself guitar and bass. I've been interested in the recording process since I was small(er) too – I used to collect old record players, and would attempt ping-pong multi-track recording using 80s ghetto-blasters. I now have a little studio set up in my bedroom, which is where I recorded my first EP (on sale now, hint hint).

SUPER FURRY ANIMALS


ARTIST / BAND: SUPER FURRY ANIMALS

SONG (MP3): RUN-AWAY

ALBUM: Hey Venus!

FILE UNDER: Indie / Experimental / Psychedelic

LABEL: Rough Trade

INFO: The band formed in Cardiff after being in various other Welsh bands and techno outfits in the area. Rhys, Ieuan and Pryce had been together since the early 1990s and had toured the north coast of France as a techno group. After Bunford and Ciaran (the latter Ieuan's younger brother) joined, they then got to work on writing some songs, and in 1995 ended up signing to Ankst, the Welsh indie label. The band are considered to be part of the renaissance of Welsh music (and art, and literature) in the 1990s: other Welsh bands of the time include Catatonia, Gorky's Zygotic Mynci and the Manic Street Preachers. The actor Rhys Ifans was briefly lead vocalist of the band, before they found national success.

The name of the band came from T-shirts being printed by Gruff's sister. She was making Super Furry Animals T-shirts for the fashion and music collective Acid Casuals (variants of whose name have appeared throughout SFA's career - for example, in their song "The Placid Casual", their record label Placid Casual).[1]
