OIB Records Xmas Songs Compilation 2009 with CURLY HAIR / THE HORNBLOWER BROTHERS / FOXES! / LONELY GHOSTS / PSEUDO NIPPON / MY DEVICE - OUT NOW (Limited to just 50 copies!)

So recently our good friends in Brighton pop-heroes THE HORNBLOWER BROTHERS approached us with the request of releasing their newly recorded Christmas hit. Being big fans of over the top Christmas novelty hits we obviously jumped at the chance and decided it'd be fun to bring a few of our other favourite Brighton bands along for the ride. So after a round of eggnog and a mince pie or two we called in the help of CURLY HAIR, FOXES!, LONELY GHOSTS, PSEUDO NIPPON, and MY DEVICE to complete the tracklisting for our festive release.

 

So it's with giddy excitement that we offer up the first ever OIB Records Xmas Compilation 'KRAMPUS IS COMING', a release that we hope to make an annual event!

 

Deciding that we wanted to give the record a more fun and festive feel and in homage to our terrible wrapping skills we decided it'd be extra fun to hand-make every copy of the compilation. So roping in the artistic skills of resident OIB Records pensman Tom Mountford we've created a very limited edition run of just 50 !!! hand packaged CDR releases in handdrawn wrapping paper with bows and ribbons and that…

 

 

 

This release will only be available exclusively from www.oibrecords.com / Resident Music in Brighton (01273 606312) / the record release party.

THE HORNBLOWER BROTHERS

Originally from the dark wilderness of West Yorkshire, the Brothers came to the south coast in 2007 armed with just a melodica, bontempi & acoustic guitar, and began writing songs about everything from watching car chases on the TV - to caterpillars becoming butterflies. Interested in doing little else but putting ramshackle pop to Nathaniel's rhymes, their irresistible folk-pop antics have gained them a loyal battalion of fans and earned them a string of sold out shows with Jeffrey Lewis, Noah and the Whale, The XX and Metronomy. Already lauded by the likes of Steve Lamacq, Transparent Magazine and Marc Riley, prepare for The Hornblower Brothers to blow your socks off.

CURLY HAIR

Taking Brighton (and the rest of the UK) by storm, Curly Hair are a prominent part of the infamous Willkommen collective and create feel-good anti-folk-pop that sounds like a cheeky, kitch and particularly British version of Jeffrey Lewis and the Moldy Peaches. Not even a year old yet but already Curly Hair have recorded sessions for Marc Riley at BBC 6music and John Kennedy's XFM Xposure as well as shared stages with the likes of The Leisure Society, Micachu & the Shapes, Peter Broderick and Malcolm Middleton. Their debut EP 'Ivy League' is out now via their own Toy Soldier label.

"I love it, I absolutely love it...an absolute delight!" - Marc Riley, BBC 6Music

FOXES!

Foxes! are an indie pop explosion from Brighton who write songs with a catch and usually an unusual twist for good measure. They started out in Oxford back in 2005 and are busily readying their debut album for release next year, treading the long road to one day becoming important.

LONELY GHOSTS

Lonely Ghosts is the alter-ego of Brighton musician Tom Denney. Since 2006 he has used this guise to explore what he considers to be 'pop' music in whatever shape or form it may take. From his home studio he creates an eclectic mix of songs blending a number of different sounds and styles, including casio-pop, moody synth-scapes, shoegaze guitar drones, woozy harmonies, post-punk, electronica, hip-hop drum beats and emotive vocals.

PSEUDO NIPPON

The myth surrounding Pseudo Nippon is vast and murky but what we do know is that he's a placeless electro wizz-kid that makes mad-capped Japanese inspired electro-pop from whatever house or shed he happens to be 'house-sitting' that week. Musically Pseudo Nippon sounds like a bastard hybrid of the Aphex Twin, Venetian Snares and Gay Against You if they all grew up on a strict diet of lucky charms and Manga, or as Pseudo Nippon himself describes it "pop with pochinko and little beat make yes, eating in colourful!".

MY DEVICE

My Device are a frantic and energetic power-trio from Brighton who create intricate slabs of controlled chaos full of grinding guitars, frenzied drums and thick pounding bass. Its sure-fire indie-disco that while boasting a fun and danceable pop exterior, is wrapped up in multi-genre influenced freak outs and thick walls of fuzz and feedback.
