Carla J Easton has been very busy during lockdown, and here is another of her recent projects, Poster Paints. A spring release on Olive Grove Records, it has already been getting radio play (mainly from Marc Riley on 6 Music).
As well as Ms Easton, the combo comprises Si Liddell (previously associated with Frabbits and Olympic Swimmers) although there are others involved (Suse Bear and Jonny Scott on bass and drums respectively).
Anyway, ‘Number One’ is a melodic indie thrash somewhat redolent of The Shop Assistants meeting The Darling Buds in The Primitives’ garage (ok maybe a bit overcooked there!). What it also has is a wee hint of Motown 60s girl groups, all very promising, and there are some great backing vocals, as well of course as CJE’s distinctive lead.
A great pop thrill for the times – and hopefully more soon!
