Default London Grammar........anyone else like them?

You can't walk into a supermarket or DIY shop in France without hearing this:


The girl can sing, that's for sure. And not a bad looker.......
Reminds me of Elizabeth Fraser, and Celia Humphries (Cocteau twins and Trees)

Better than the usual female singers, triple and quadruple tracked to give their voices some power, still sounding like Mockney twelve-year-olds, full of glottal stops and nasal tripe.

Bought their album when it came out and it's 'nice' but nothing really memorable. Potential is there though

Their track 'Hey Now' got remixed by Arty (progressive house), and is absolutely superb. I mean hauntingly good! Played it in a few sets.

Theyre the best group to come out in the last few years, much better and more talented than these x factor and the voice throwbacks by far. Ive bought tickets to go see them in june i reckon theyre gonna be awesome live.

Interesting reading about Hannah Reid, the lead singer.

Wanted to be an actress but realised she wasn't good enough and had severe stage fright.

Still suffers from stage fright, dresses down to try not to attract too much attention, doesn't believe she is very good.

Sandy Deny anyone? Hope she stays as she is...doesn't drink on tour even.
