Pocketbooks
We’ve been way under quota with our delivery of lo-fi twee bands of late, and so in an attempt to correct this, I now present Pocketbooks. Pocketbooks are a new band from London, so new in fact that they don’t seem to have any pictures available anywhere. The band was originally made up of just one guy called Andy, but now consisting of five members as they move toward playing their first ever gig next month in Brixton.
These songs were all recorded when the band was just Andy, and while there is a little of the obvious Belle & Sebastian influence in there, Pocketbooks have a sound that pulls from a number of sources. The end result are precious sounding songs about the simple things, sung in an incredibly earnest way. There’s also a great little knack for pop culture references here too, something I always enjoy.
All of these songs are taken from the ‘Proofreading’ album, the whole album of which is downloadable from the Pocketbooks website.
