SONG OF THE DAY (#212)

'brighton girls,' by celestial

judging from the sound of celestial's jangly brand of guitar pop, you'd think they were raised on fish & chips, mash, and earl grey tea. ah, you'd think so, but you'd be wrong. hmm. that's quite a conundrum. so, if music of the this quality doesn't come from england, there's really only one other option. and you know what that option is: sweden.

holy meatballs! the swedes have done it again. this time it's celestial, or rather, a man name andreas hagman. from what i gather he is the band. hey, if you can do it all yourself, why not? you don't have to worry about 'artistic differences,' the drummer's heroin addiction, or splitting royalties, right? yep.

celestial, to me, is a pinch of ride, a teaspoon of early stone roses, two cups of belle and sebastian, and about a pint of the field mice. in other words, it rocks mightily. and not only does it rock mightily, mr. hagman is also a generous soul. head over to http://www.musicismygirlfriend.com/ and you can download a remix e.p. for $0.00. yeah, that's free!
