Solyoni - The Princess Market (Velvet Fallopian Tube)
Post-folk-pop is alive and squirming in Seattle’s Solyoni. Any band who can pay homage to the Hell’s Hairdryers in ‘The Moped Song’ get my vote. Solyoni are that kind of ‘first on the bill’ band who stick in your memory long after you’ve forgotten the main act. Quirky and compelling, this skewed pop meandering demands a few listens. A Plan B abstract. A story in every tune. As the band say, ‘even in a world scarred with apocalyptic portents, drifting in the rosy glow of Hell’s Gate, someone still needs to drive the ice-cream truck’. www.solyoni.com
