Back in November I posted a demo by The New Southern Electrikk, a memorable cover version of The Gun Club's Mother Of Earth. Quite a lot of you liked it. The band have put a new single out on the internet this week, Brown Eyes, a song of loss written by keys player Rikki Turner (who used to be the Paris Angel's frontman but this group is some distance from indie-dance). Brown Eyes has a 60s soul feel, some girl group dynamics, with its rolling bass, dripping guitar part, and a truly spine tingling vocal from singer Monica Ward. And atmosphere. Plenty of atmosphere.

I missed November's post, but just had to go back to check out more New Southern Electrikk after hearing 'Brown Eyes'. Excellent.
Put me in mind of Slow Club, Adam, which can't be a bad thing. Will have to look out that Gun CLub cover
....and having searched November looks like I liked that one too.
Its a terrible thing when your memory starts to go.
Thanks for your email by the way George, read it but haven't managed to reply yet. Glad life is going well.
There's more than a little early Blondie in this one, which, if you draw a line from The Gun Club, makes a whole lot of sense. I really like this one as well!
