CD review: Mitchell Museum - The Peters Port Memorial Service
Mitchell Museum: The Peters Port Memorial Service **** Electra French (only available via iTunes and Amazon)
THIS Glasgow four-piece appear to have emerged from nowhere (located in a flat just above the venue Nice'n'Sleazy) with a contender for best Scottish debut of the year.
The Peters Port Memorial Service is a breath of fresh air next to their angsty, brooding peers and a joyful, adventurous album in its own right in that it takes on the restless mantle of wide-eyed sonic wonder and slightly surreal mischief which has mainly been the preserve of US psychedelic pop titans Flaming Lips and Mercury Rev with gusto, euphoria and discipline.
It's early days and Mitchell Museum are still a little slavish in their imitation, but their potential is great.
