Chris T-T 'Tomorrow Morning' / Cosy Cosy
'Dreive Drive'
REPEAT
records unleash their latest missive on the unsuspecting music public;
this is the label that has
brought us excellent offerings from Kinesis, The Virgin Suicides and Miss
Black America. Again this single is to support the love music hate racism
campaign and it's a beauty. Chris TT's Tomorrow morning is a gorgeously
strummed folk/punk/ rock song; his wry words are augmented by his gorgeously
melodic vocals. I'm reminded of Billy Bragg in the way TT manages to wring
ever speck of emotion and wonder from his voice whilst he maintains a
lyrical edge in his word play. Chris said "Tomorrow morning is about
love, not a love song. It's supposed to be about reality TV in the verse
then an 80s acid trip in the chorus. I think the Conan Doyle bit is the
best two lines I've written." He is referring to the sparkling lines
"As he faded into old age, Conan Doyle believed in fairies/ I fell
in love on April fools day, I dug a hole so deep it scares me." Chris
TT has a magical
talent for song writing.
Cosy
Cosy were one of the last groups to be lauded by the much missed DJ John
Peel, and you can understand why this Cambridge based girl/boy bangy wangy
indie rriot girl outfit are ace. Scuzzy chords are aided by yelping mess
of vocals and a real freshness of approach. Watch out for Cosy Cosy they
are driving your way!
