The same friend who helped me discover Jenny Lewis (see last post), reminded me of another band who I really fell in love with, despite never hearing a whole lot of their stuff. Kent's GoodBooks make wonderfully swirling, soaring songs, peppered with electronic effects and tasty, tasty reverb.I first heard their song Leni on XFM (London's best music station - fact) and, despite needing to get to the bus in the morning, I had to stay until the end to find out who was making this amazing noise. Now, having been reminded of just how much I loved this song (and their most successful single, Passchendaele), I'm going to go and hunt down their debut album, Control. Take a listen and see if you agree with me!
GoodBooks - Leni

Warning though! they get under your skin until you can't stop listening to them
Haha, well i heard them ages ago, and then completely forgot about them. Haven't got the money to buy Control at the moment, but it's a definate purchase when I do!
Cheers for commenting :)
