The Shape We Made

“Fossils was recorded over a year in Brooklyn, Brighton and London. It is made up of entirely unreleased material because we wanted it to exist as a whole in the way that our favourite albums do rather than being a collection of songs. Most of the album is about endings in one way or another, the title refers to both the absences and remnants of those endings and the empty spaces in the artwork reflect this theme. It was created by Benjamin Phillips whose path we crossed a couple of years ago whilst we were all living in Brighton, he has been making artwork for us ever since.” - Katy Young

The band recorded the album with Alex Newport (Two Gallants), John Askew (The Dodos), Steve Ansell (of Blood Red Shoes) and Ben Lovett (of Mumford & Sons).

Blessed with two songwriters in Rosa and Katy and with the addition of drummer, Olly Joyce, early last year, Peggy Sue have been working hard to further develop their unique sound whilst playing shows with Mumford & Sons, Laura Marling and The Maccabees amongst others.

The brooding, rhythmic kiss-off that is “Watchman” will be their first single on Wichita, released March 22nd. They precede the single with a run of dates supporting Local Natives around the UK. The band also play a headline show at The Garage in London at the end of March. There is a special “ticket & album” deal for this show which allows fans to get the album at the gig, ahead of the official release date and at a very cheap price.

The album, “Fossils and Other Phantoms” is released on April 5th. It is available to pre-order now here:

Brand new track from the ever brilliant (and quite incredible live band) Cold Pumas from Brighton. The track is taken from a compilation out on Male Bondings label Paradise Vendor/Italian Beach Babes.

There’s a brand new post over at the 20JazzFunkGreats blog with track ‘Tropical Guilt’ up for download. Enjoy.

Brighton’s Peggy Sue is actually two gals Rosa (who’s speciality is vocals, percussion and wine) and Katy (vocals, guitar, percussion and being grumpy) and a fella Olly (drums, banjo and selling Beatles back catalogues) and is sometimes called Peggy Who. They write great songs.

They’re going on UK tour with Local Natives this month. Hoping they’ll be Stateside sooner than later!

THANKS MARK! There is also Olly who plays drums.

We’ve not been doing many Gold Panda interviews over the last 3 months as Derwin has been busy making his album but we had this request in from the Work Ethic Blog and GP hooked up a face to face interview. There is nothing here that he hasn’t covered before but it’s a lovely comprehensive interview.
