Taffy - Flower Chain [7"]


TAFFY... the first time i read about this band i immediately thought about the Italo disco act with the same name, that had a hit with I Love My Radio which blasted through my speakers in the mid 80's. But no, this is something different. Way different.
This is a band from Japan and they play britpop/shoegaze. I checked out a few of their tunes online and thought they were pretty cool, or well at least: OK. Until i heard a song called Theron and found out it was going to be the B-side of their single FLOWER CHAIN. This was not just OK, this was simply awesome and i just had to have it on vinyl. Haven't heard a new song that catchy for quite a while. A rather simple tune, i admit - but fuzzy and distorted, just the way i like it. Kinda like a mix of Ride and Smashing Pumpkins or so, with female vocals. Judge for yourself...
So here i am now: the single arrived for me today and i've been playing the B-side over and over. The A-side ain't bad either by the way ;)
