Those Transatlantics

While on my intense Thunderbirds are Now! binge this morning i was looking for everything and anything involving them. One simple Google search led me to Suburban Sprawl Music. It seems this was the label that released their(now out of print) debut ep. Well, it turns out that they weren't the only amazing band to ever grace the Label's doorstep.

Meet Those Transatlantics. With a knack for picture perfect pop melodies and an incredible group dynamic, it's hard to imagine that they have only been together for a little more than a year. Singer Kathleen Bracken's powerful(yet, delicate) vocals paired with those of guitarist Michael Spence call up comparisons to The New Pornographers and Kathleen's voice alone draws a very strong resemblence to a particular three sisters. One thing is for sure, these songs will make you wish summer was still around. The band is currently hard at work to finish their debut full length in the coming weeks.

Visit their Myspace for more news and updates and of course, be their friend.
