Griff says; 'Step into The Garden'
Aaaaah, now this is the sort of thing I just love; an odd, but charming, little lo-fi folk-pop song by a musican about whom I know absolutely nothing. The song is 'Garden', the artist appears to be a solo musician who goes by the name of 'It's Just A Kitten' and other than that I could find out very little. I stumbled across this on bandcamp and was immediately hooked by the fantastical lyrics, the earnest vocal delivery and the toy-piano solo. Even better, the song is available as a free download. Hurrah!
The bandcamp page states that the vocal part and all of the music is performed by Justin Kitten, and there is a myspace page, which gives the extra information that he is based in Lyon in France. If anyone out there can provide any more information on the mysterious Justin then please do share it with us here at 'The Streetlamp'
I'm simply amazed that someone accidentally paid a visit to my page (i'm not gonna lie to you, you're probably the 4th person who've heard this song, the first three being close friends) and, even more, liked my song.
I don't know anything about you as well but you just made my day. Thank you very much for your kind words.
The Streetlamp blog covers music, art, culture and politics from a socialist, anti-consumerist, green perspective. It is curated by former members of the Scottish Lo-fi band ~Sighrens~ with help from our film-making friend Ray. Each of us involved in producing content for this blog occupy a special niche. Ray will be responsible for the video content. Gordon will be sharing his love and encyclopaedic knowledge of Indie-pop as well as classic Punk and 60s music ( particularly Garage and obscure Psychedelic Pop). Griff's special areas of interest are Lo-fi, Indie-folk, Bedroom-pop, Outsider music, Pop-punk and Hip-hop. Hopefully, there'll be something for anyone with an interest in genuine independent music. Our wider intention is not just to promote our favourite artists, but to also help and support those who allow their music to be listened to, streamed or downloaded for free. If you share our passions, or if you are a like-minded band or artist then please feel free to contribute or to link your own page to our Blog. Our aim is to create a community free from the restrictions enforced by the greedy corporate shysters.
Wow.
