About Me |
|
| Marc McCourt (guitars) & Colm McCrory (bass) played together as Language of Flowers years ago and weren't very good so gave up. They resurrected the band in 2003, bringing on board Tara Simpson (vocals), Bentley Cooke (drums) & Ashton Cameron (guitar).
Since then they signed to Shelteredlife Records in San Francisco & released their debut album, 'Songs About You' in October 2004. "Songs About You is a glorious dedication at the altar of Pop, is an album utterly in thrall to the very essence of what it means to be young (at heart) and tripping over yourself as you rush headlong into the wall of sounds that mean the world." - Tangents "Hard to think that someone who loves classic indie pop wouldn't love this" - One Chord "Each listening is a little bit better than the previous one (but only a little, so that you can play it again and again)" - Friends of the Heroes "One thing you ought to pay heed to is the decidedly outstanding album of the year (2005) especially if you are into the British tradition of classic indiepop. If you are one of those nostalgic anoraks who stubbornly clutch your priceless seven-inches from Sarah, muttering that never again will there be such Perfect Bands, you should think again. So if this record is not already in your possession, it deserves its own pedestal in your home. Listen to it and marvel at the fact that the world, however horrid, can still turn out these little masterpieces." - Le Manchester The Language of Flowers are currently doing nothing about their follow-up album, tentatively titled "Songs About Two", which features Andy Rourke on piano. The Cat's miaow - Battersea Barge- 13/08/06 .. width="425" height="350" .. STOP PRESS . . . . Colm and Ben (the real talent behind The Language of Flowers, I'm sure everyone will agree) are starting a new band called Help Stamp Out Loneliness and are looking for a nice female singer aged 25-35. If you live anywhere near Manchester, have a decent record collection, a nice fringe and a voice sweet enough to stain glass . . . drop us a line by messaging us (we're in Language of Flowers' top friends).
