WONGIE DISCOVERY: frankie & the heartstrings - tender / fragile



frankie & the heartstrings - tender
[from the guardian:

"There are signs here that Frankie & the Heartstrings could be that rare creature, presumed extinct: the simply thrilling indie band. They've got the charismatic, boyish singer who, in terms of wryly foppish demeanour and shaved hair-and-quiff combo, has been compared to the young Edwyn Collins. His distinctive yelpy vocals have also led to comparisons with the young Kevin Rowland. If Frankie can combine the ringing guitars of Orange Juice with the soul-rebel anthems - and horns - of Dexys Midnight Runners Mk 1, they will be very fine indeed.

Some of their tracks, are the missing link between arty and angular indie-funk and bootboy stomp-pop"
