Here we go again. It really is hard to find time to write when you've got school to go to and both regular work and homework to do. But I'll try to keep the write-ups coming as often as I can without sacrificing too much precious time. So here's today's treat:
Micachu, aka Mica Levi. A playful Londoner who likes to use the vacuum cleaner as a musical instrument and makes 2-3 minute experimental pop songs. I've known about her for a while now and had 'Golden Phone' as my MySpace song for a few months last year. What I really like about her aside from the self-inventing of instruments, is how the majority of the songs I've heard from her sound a bit unfinished - but in a sharp, edgy and poppy kind of way. And often while listening you find yourself thinking about adjusting your headphones or your ears - is it really supposed to sound like that? Think Björk if she was lo-fi, raised in Camden and looked/sang a bit like a boy. With her band the Shapes, Micachu's releasing the debut album 'Jewellery' in March and it's going to be interesting whether the music works in album form.
