Wintercoats aka. Australian "bro" James Wallace added me on Myspace a while ago. As this doesn't happen all too often (still struggling to make AndygoesdowntoChinatown a multi-national brand) I think it's only fair to check the music out.
(If you've named your band along the lines of Satan's Heavenly Arse-bleaching Party or Jacko-Wocko and the Ring-ding-a-ling-ling's the odds are that I won't check your "tunes" out)
Anyway
Strewth! Wintercoats is a right diamond in the Myspace-rough! And as it's one guy playing all of the instruments, with a lot of violin going on in the songs, the Owen Pallett comparisons are always going to be there, but you just listen to his Cathedral EP which is available as a free download.
This guy plays pretty much everything: Vox, violin, Piano, Glockenspiel, Guitar, Keyboards, Ukulele, Trumpet and Percussion and the results sound tasty. And dreamy. Like a tasty dream. Yeah that's what the Cathedral EP sounds like.
