Bizarre but great news. Saw a review in thelondonpaper too - 2 out of 5, the reviewer completely missed the point. Shit paper so no surprise.

c&p from the loves site /S.T.

TECHNICOLOUR SUNDAY TIMES POP CD OF THE WEEK

It has taken Simon Love seven years and some 25 band members to get his second album, but it was all worthwhile: Technicolour is a pop gem. The Loves are unashamedly indebted to the 1960s, but in a novel twist on recent retro trends, here's a 1960s band who never sound like the Beach Boys or the Byrds. Ten tracks in, they launch into some pah-pah-pah vocal harmonies, but even then it's more Turtles than Wilson brothers. The band claim to have looked for the middle ground between the Monkess and the Velvet Underground, and, incredibly, they've found it; though I My She Love You, She'll Break Your Heart...Again and Jazz My Bads reveal they've also paid close attention to the Yardbirds and the Kingsmen. The ultra-tight riffs and bouncy melodies of Xs And Os, Honey and Summertime are so catchy that, were The Loves a genuine 1960s band, this would surely be their greatest hits compilation. 4/5 ME

Well, I've just reached round the corner for a copy of said paper and, lo and behold, it's there! Well done chaps, well done.

Although it's next to a review of a band I've never heard of called The Besnard Lakes... it says "Imagine Low covering a Red House Painters song in the style of My Morning Jacket...". D'you, that is so far up my street it has practically broken into my house and is taking a crap on my bog as we speak... anyone know more about this mob before I hammer MySpace this afternoon...?
