Test Card Girl brings her forward looking Manchester sound to the show - a podcast by Richard and Tobin: Self confessed music addicts
from 2020-10-24T22:00
Test Card Girl was a teenager in the 90's in Manchester and what a time that was to be alive. She soaked up a lot of the sounds of the time and you can hear that in her eclectic and brave music. From subtle folk sounding acoustic noodling to some comedy Casio synth musings, all accompanied by Catherine's beautiful voice, it's a confident start to her musical career. Already on cassette and published widely on streaming platforms there is an exciting possibility that we may see Test Card Girl on vinyl before too long. But before then, we've got two tracks from her, one of which is her current single.
Tobin brings quality rather than quantity today with two unusually musical tracks from him. Gone is the electronica and breathy vocals and in come the guitars and other real instruments. A refreshing change! "That Jamie" returns with quite possibly his best recommendation to date and Richard drops the needle on Lake Street Dive's new single release. And speaking as we did earlier of cassettes, we have the dreamy vocals of The Suncharms with their latest release. A split tape with The Mirrorlakes, order it here if you've got deep pockets.
