Don't Know Till You Try...

The Postmarks - sublime. Think orchestral rock à la The Last Shadow Puppets, but with the sweetest of sweet lady vocals, courtesy of Tim Yehezkely (that's right, she's called Tim - but she definitely doesn't look like a dude). On the band's website it says, "When Tim Yehezkely sings, clocks stop, people listen, and ice cream refuses to melt" - whatever that means! Personally, I find myself melting quite rapidly as her voice emerges from the thick, textured sounds of "Memoirs At The End Of World". The song I picked out from the album is not necessarily demonstrative of the vibe of the album, but it's a belter - a driving, hypnotic piece that sends shivers up my spine.
