this one it’s not folk but you also ask for any different melodies

first song, well they are twee pop. Part of the band were member of “the abardeen”.I thought their pop sound is charming. I didn’t know it’s that overplayed in the UK.

The twee sound itself isn’t very much heard outside the UK. In the US, the position is taken by more traditional boy band (justin timberlake) or mtv/britney spears type of sound.

The “Sarah” records sound (simple melody, short phrase, simple cord, “jangly”) is arguably very much part of indie landscape. But you are right, it is a function of exposure. If one heard it one too many times or not.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trembling_Blue_Stars

Trembling Blue Stars is a London-based twee pop band that currently includes members Robert Wratten and Beth Arzy (who was also in Aberdeen until they split up in 2005). Begun as a side project of Wratten’s previous band Northern Picture Library, Trembling Blue Stars became Wratten’s main band when Northern Picture Library broke up in 1995. Wratten took the name of his band from The Story of O by Pauline Réage. The Stars are characterized by slow songs with jangly guitars and introspective, painful lyrics.

PS. I did have a long argument if something too twee is worth posting, exposed to public via blog or not. now that was a rawdy forum thread. heh…

Great videos, I saw him play an amazing set a few weeks ago at Reading Festival though I knew very little of what he played. As for the playlist, I wasn’t keen on the first song; sounded to me like mainstream drivel; no offence to you or the artist. I did enjoy the rest though. Thanks!
