mockingbird, wish me luck Pictures (Too Big to Fit In a Sight) (7", £3.30)

Mockingbird, Wish Me Luck – an 8-piece pop-orchestra from Ängelholm, Sweden – present their limited debut single as a precursor to their album Days Come and Go. Whilst Pictures is taken from their album, Side B A Note In The Margin is only available on the single. Everything has been done without any help and in the true DIY indie spirit - drums were recorded in their rehearsal room and almost everything else in their parents’ apartment. Despite their admittance that “nobody really knew which buttons to push”, by the time Blow Up Records made contact in early Summer 2007, they had quite a collection of songs – both beautiful and unforgettable. When the recording was complete in Autumn 2007, songwriters Daniel and Niklas flew to London for additional production and mixing at The Premises in Hackney with Nick Terry (Klaxons, SMD). "God only knows why, but the Swedes are super proficient at doing pop music. Grand songs, delivered well. Belle and Sebastian and Neutral Milk Hotel in bed with Agnetha Fältskog?." - STOOL PIGEON. "Gorgeous indie pop. I could listen to this for months and not tire of it." - SWEDESPLEASE.NET. "Short, sweet and perfectly formed. It sounds good, very good." - NUDE.
