And it's a few weeks away but we wanted to give you a nod to our next couple of releases. Great new albums on the way from Fabienne Delsol and The Piney Gir Country Roadshow. Read on to find out more....*Fabienne Delsol - On My Mind CD/LP/digi (Release date Sept 6th)*[image 2 300x300]The very welcome return of Fabienne Delsol with her 3rd solo album, a follow up to 2007's “Between You And Me.” Originally from Limoges in France, Fabienne was formerly the lead singer of legendary London garage band The Bristols and has been living and working in London with husband Liam Watson (Toe Rag Studios) since 1996.
Put together in studio down-time and ably backed by Toe Rag's stable of musicians,“On My Mind” features Fabienne's customary mixture of both English and French lyrics sung with plenty of coquettish charm. With songs and production so authentically 60's they could have been taken from tapes gathering dust in Serge Gainsbourg's garage for the last 40 years.
The album marks something of a departure from the jaunty beat-pop and ye-ye of her previous albums however, there's a definite autumnal feel to several of the tracks, putting you in mind of what the much mooted Francoise Hardy/Nick Drake collaboration might have yielded.
Lyrically the bulk of the album deals with the melancholic side of love and has a slightly trippy and introspective edge. Most notably on “Strange Shadows” and the title track “On my Mind” with its phased drums and “Strawberry Fields” style moog motifs. You're unlikely to hear a better record this autumn!
Here what the press have said about her previous albums:-
“An absolute gem” 4/5 - STOOL PIGEON
“Timeless and endlessly entertaining” - UNCUT
As always click on the pic above to pre-order. Don't forget Fabienne's previous releases, still available from our online shop.

[image 8 300x300]Piney Gir taunts traditional country music with a big city edge… Jesus Wept is a nod to Piney's strict religious upbringing and her urge to walk the line between naughty and nice. There comes a time when everyone should question their faith and Piney (with the help of her trusty Roadshow) has channeled that into a record. A record that's a little bit country, a little bit rock 'n' roll and a whole lot of attitude.
Jesus Wept is more than a froth of petticoats in a fresh summer field, it's Ingmar Bergman's 'Seventh Seal' twisted through the eyes of a local drunk at the truck stop honky tonk. It's fun but it's dark and you don't know if you should like it so much but you do, so have another whiskey.
Previously Piney has been compared to her heroes like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette; she's been hailed an 'indie Dolly Parton." But this album is more Emmylou Harris in her Gram Parsons days, it's little girl lost… it's the devil in disguise and the devil looks good. This album sees Piney grow up and face hard facts; hard facts that can make many a country song that much better. "'A tear in my beer' ain't the half of it," says Piney.
Jesus Wept is Piney's book of revelations and she's taking you with her to heaven and back.
Piney is also having a launch gig for her album at The Lexington on September the 7th with support from Mr David Viner and Paul Mosely. Plus record playing from Delia Damaged and Ian Dansette (something like that anyway), try the
Lexington website for more info later today...or
