New 'Allo darlin' free download


Fortuna pop love you. They must do, or why else would they let you have a download of the new 'Allo Darlin' 7" for absolutely nish?

'Polaroid' is lovely, motown-y little shindig of a single. Its a real statement of how far the lovely. Elizabeth and the crew have come. Imagine Camera Obscura's 'French Navy' but slimmer and shimmyer. "i feel like dancing on my own/ to a record i do not know/ in a place Ive never seen before". Oddly, that's the exact effect the record has.

on the flip is 'Will you please spend new years eve with me?' a sweet, shy, little pleader some of you may remember from her set in Nottingham, or indeed the demo form her last Xmas release. Very seasonal, very beautiful. Get you copy here:-

Allo, darlin'



Allo, darlin’ is the love child of London based Australian Elizabeth Darling. Her songs are as pretty as a party dress and ukulele led, with a vocal as warming as a nice cup of tea on a winters morning in November. ‘Emily’ is a girl-pop charmer, a kitchen sink drama about a girl trying pinch our heroines boyfriend. The lyrics are wonderfully down to earth(‘did he lend you his books and DVD’s/ British comedies that we never get on our telly?/well he gave them to me too/back when I was you’).
Another favourite is the pleading ‘Will You Please Spend New Years with Me’. its an irresistible offer of a night away from the news years eve puke filled Babylon, and instead playing monopoly in bed. The line ‘I’ve been trying to think positively/about taking up new activities/I’ll do Yoga and learn Chinese/play accordion/and eat my peas’ puts a right lump in my throat. Bless.
