You’re welcome. I love Public Service Broadcasting (the band in this case) and if you do like music set to copious samples of archive material then they should be right up your street. All their albums and the EP are certainly worth a listen.

Spitfire also sounds superb live.

I’m unfamiliar with either but i would not be surprised, it’s not a wholly original concept i suppose but i like their approach to taking a moment of history and exploring it through archive material.

ETA: I just realised you’re talking more about the sound and not the technique of sampling stuff. My reading fail. :man_facepalming:

FYI: Pell Mell (the American instrumental rock band) and not Pell Mell (the German progressive rock band). :grin:

Because I am a bad person, I never read the initiating post for this thread, which leads off with “Too much negative soul-suck, needs more cowbell, stat; In other words, please post some ‘feel good’ tunes from eras bygone.” and as a result have sometimes used it to post new music that I like. Is that cool, or should there be a separate thread for new music discovery?

This is a great interview with Dawn Richard… brings up lots of interesting issues such as race and racism, major labels vs. indies…

I believe she put only one album out… which is a terrible shame.

I think this name called my attention because it is in a verse of “Eight Miles High” by The Byrds.

Indeed.
