"'Va-Va-Va' is a little pop storm, a giddy avalanche that, like a classic early Associates single, fizzes with melody and its own strange internal logic. You'll hear the band's love of The Cocteau Twins and The Beach Boys in the gorgeous, ethereal harmonies of these three songs (particularly the B-side 'Wrapped In Plastic'), but also in their dancefloor savvy. The band's own 'Disco Mix' is 7 minutes of disco/synth heaven -- like the best remix Daft Punk never made. Vinyl-only track 'Go Aquatic,' meanwhile, moves from post-rock ambience through lush melody to somewhere between classic New Order and Squarepusher. OSCarr stands for Optimo Singles Club and related recordings."

OSC 017EP

"Named in honor of the Grievous Angel, Mr. Gram Parsons, The Parsonage is a group of around 50 Glasgow-based singers which was formed at the beginning of 2006 by musician Janis F. Murray. She set out to fill a void within the local music community, gathering a host of like-minded musical speculators, including artists, teachers, musicians, scientists, hairdressers and writers, all of whom felt compelled to sing. They are a non-religious, mixed sex, varied of age, determinedly independent and self defining organic group. Inspiration comes from the raw, storytelling simplicity of the folk, country and blues traditions, reinterpreted for a 21st century audience. Having sung with Rod Stewart and Echo and The Bunnymen (seriously...), they should be off to a good start with this EP, featuring covers of Joy Division, Jefferson Airplane and The Go-Go's."
