Marvin B Naylor – Little Speck Of Blue, new single & video

John Williams - Wednesday 17.03.10, 16:14pm

Marvin B Naylor releases the single Little Speck of Blue on Barcarolle Records on April 26th, the track is available via iTunes and all major download sites.

Naylor’s love of classic sixties pop and rock music and in particular the melodic harmonies of that period shine through in his latest release Little Speck of Blue. His rich and shimmering 12 string guitar playing has become the bedrock of his recordings after first hearing The Byrds Roger McGuinn’s jangling guitar early in his career.

After a brush with stardom as a member of the Tim Friese-Greene and Warne Livesey-produced band Salvation Sunday, Marvin opted for the life of a jobbing musician – touring the world with covers bands. But he never quite gave up the idea of writing music of his own, and in 2004 released his first solo album, Monsters and Mad Things.

Flight of Billy Balloon (its title inspired by the lyric of Scott Walker’s Plastic Palace People) followed in 2008 and is a collection of dreamlike, cinematic songs full of pastoral English psychedelia, warmth and whimsy. On merit of the album, Fatea Magazine awarded Naylor with the Fatea Innovation 08 Award.

Little Speck of Blue has already been supported by national and regional radio, with BBC 6’s Tom Robinson calling the track ‘Epic’, which is a pretty good recomendation.

Once heard, Little Speck of Blue is hard to dislodge from the memory and is one of those rare songs whose appeal cuts across generations: it’s as likely to delight fans of Flaming Lips and Grizzly Bear as those of the Beatles and the Byrds. And remarkably this richly-detailed wall of sound is all the work of one man – Winchester’s Marvin B. Naylor.

Frankee & Britt, better known as Mini Viva, release their follow up to the 2009 top ten hit Left My Heart In Tokyo, with the irresistible new single One Touch, which is out on May 3rd through Geffen records.

Another guaranteed dance floor filler, One Touch takes a cheeky nod at the eighties sound of Chicago house and hi-nrg and looks set to become a massive hit.

Described by POPJUSTICE as ’so amazing it will make your head explode’, One Touch is pop gem that is perfect for dancing round the living room getting ready for a Saturday night out with the girls!

Mini Viva are currently applying the finishing touches to their debut album and last week launched an interactive online show called Viva Mini Viva! featuring the girls online every Friday between 4.30pm and 5pm in the UK.

The Mini Viva girls will be live and ready to answer questions from fans (via questions through Mini Viva’s Facebook and Twitter).  There will be cool competitions and exclusive live performances too, so it’s going to be a great way of kicking off the weekend and essential Friday viewing.  The show will be broadcast from their brand new Ustream channel, which will allow the live streaming to take place.

It is all go for Mini Viva right now and they have also announced a UK tour on which they will be accompanied by the dance troupe Diversity. Mini Viva will also play at the Isle of Wight Festival on June 11th.

Mirrorkicks – Debut album, single & video ‘Podium’

John Williams - Friday 12.03.10, 11:40am

Produced in a home built studio in the basement of a family home in Streatham in South London, the self titled debut album from the London band Mirrorkicks is released on April 19th.

The band are whipping up a storm with their live performances, Mirrorkicks have already built up an impressive fan base, including XFM’s John Kennedy who invited them to play at one of his live club nights in February as well as support from Razorlight, who hosted a DJ night following the bands headline performance at The Water Rats venue, also during February.

Over the past few months Mirrorkicks have raised some impressed eye-brows with their unique online version of Leona Lewis’ Bleeding Love; and their debut single, Turning Up, has generated interest on the other side of the pond, with talks of collaborations and touring on the West coast later this year.

Their latest single Anything has been playlisted on XFM amongst others and the band have also been mentioned recently on Radio 2.

The next single from the album is easily my favourite track from the new album, Podium will be released a week before the album on April 12th. Well worth a listen, check out Podium by Mirrorkicks below:
