T in the Park starts tomorrow, and the weather forecast seems firmly stuck on 'baw-deep in mud'. add in a rather uninspiring line-up (dappy? skrillex? egads...) and expectations tumble lower, but there's treats to be found. This month's skinny offers up seven 'must-sees': The Stone Roses, New Order, We Were Promised Jetpacks, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, We Are Augustines, Alt J, and Teengirl Fantasy - the latter of which i wrote a handful of words on...
Should T’s trademark hullabaloo threaten to overwhelm, seek respite in
Teengirl Fantasy’s gentle yet exhilarating embrace. Taking 2010 debut
album 7am as the yardstick, the duo’s hazy dream-pop is primed
to offer a warm, fuzzy envelope for the weary festival-goer to curl up
and lose themselves in, as drowsy beats and entrancing,
nostalgia-infused melodies borrow from vintage RnB, trance and chart
botherers of yesteryear. Their set’s transportive potential is strong,
but if that doesn’t appeal, there are plenty other teengirl fantasies
onsite to select from: we hear The Wanted are just soooooooo gorge…
