DENIM
DENIM ON ICE (1996)
320 KBPS
Denim is the project of Lawrence Hayward, formerly of the '80s jangly pop group Felt. Along with having a penchant for naming his bands after fabrics, Lawrence also has a tendency to write incredibly catchy, entertaining songs about seemingly nothing at all. Denim's 1992 self-titled debut album railed against the excesses of the '70s and '80s, and set Lawrence's tirades to a glittering glam-rock soundtrack. On Denim On Ice, he's still upset about pub rock and other more serious matters, but the music takes a new-wave turn, with prominent drum machines and synthesizers. Songs like "The Great Pub Rock Revival," "Shut Up Sidney" and "Silly Rabbit" mix Lawrence's goofy sense of humor with infectious hooks and melodies. Speedy, synth-heavy pop songs like "Romeo Jones Is in Love Again," "The Supermodels," and "Jane Suck Died in '77" are some of the album's highlights, as are the deeply cynical, funny and very British looks at everyday life in "Job Centre" and "Council Houses." Even the rare ballad on Denim On Ice — like "Synthesisers in the Rain" and "Myriad of Hoops" — crackles with Lawrence's dry wit. Though this import probably won't be released in the States, it's a must for Anglophiles and for anyone interested in some very personal, funny, offbeat music.

Please re-up dude : )
Do as Mr Moodswings says! Download the 'empty' file and open it.
Thank you for this post, I've wanted to hear this album for ages, but didn't want to buy without hearing some songs first. It was certainly worth the wait!
You're welcome, man.
And thanks for the comment. I understand people are a little surprised of the Okbs files so I explain it but when they ask again and again and again, I just ignore them.
Went and bought this £3 off the bay...bad album..also got the Instant Wigwam and Igloo Mixture so my set is complete....mmmmmmm
Hey Moody Boy....I have downloaded thousands of tunes through blogs...maybe my mac just got confused....I raise a glass of warm "um bongo" to you fella.
See, that's your problem, "dude". You download too much music. Maybe you don't really care for music.
Anyway, this Denim album's cool and everyone disagreeing with it is a soul-less person to me.
Btw, Wigwam sucks in a "funny and entertaining" way and haven't heard of the other one so that's probably crap.
Bye.
Thank you so much for the link, Mr Moodswings! I really love Lawrence for sure!
