A band without any pictures at all. Not the greatest of starts when you want to blog about them.
That said, it’s hard not to take notice when you get an email claiming “equal love for Times New Viking, The Unicorns, Los Campesinos! and Casiotone For the Painfully Alone.” Seeing as I love three and a half of those, I’m inclined to have a listen.
This is the kind of music that makes the likes of Casiotone sound overproduced, which is no mean feat. Everything is incredibly rudimentary, and covered in distortion, yet it’s ultimately adorable for the two minutes that it lasts. Despite the limitations, boy-girl vocals, handclaps and glockenspiels all manage to put in an appearance, giving us a sense of what Los Campesinos! perhaps would have sounded like with only two people.
The ethos of the band seems to be built around the idea of making music in the now rather than thinking it over too much. The band’s first gig will is coming up in a couple of months. Hopefully they won’t rehearse too much.
Internet Forever will play their first gig on December 11 at the The Lexington in Angel. Which is in London.
