Starting a flawless Voxtrot
For indie pop that’s somewhere between The Smiths and Scottish faves like Belle & Sebastian, listen to new Austin, Texas four-piece Voxtrot. Ramesh Srivastava started the band, then moved to Glasgow to study, went out clubbing a lot and listened to great music like Arthur Russell and Green Velvet - obviously another person sucked in by Optimo, I interviewed Syd Butler from Les Savy Fav last night and he hates techno but loves Optimo. Still, Srivastava wasn’t tempted to go DFA or post-punk, he eventually dumped the degree and went back to the band, releasing the wonderful debut EP Raised By Wolves.
There’s a new EP due this year, but for the moment check out:
Voxtrot - The Start of Something
Listen to more Voxtrot at their myspace page
Art Russell would really hit the spot right now
