Oh Minnows + Cheatahs

Oh Minnows

Oh Minnows is the new band of Semifinalist Chris Steele-Nicholson, and produces ethereal atmospheric loveliness similar to the aforementioned band, continuing largely where their debut album left off (ignoring 2 completely).

Debut EP "Might" is out now on Young and Lost, with the lead track featuring simmering lead synth lines and a shoegaze sound of Deerhunter, track two "Second Version" featuring a funky rhythm alongside its soaring vocals. Final track "High Or Low" is an acoustic ballad that is closest to Semifinalists' signature sound.

Might EP is out now on Young and Lost Club

Cheatahs

Cheatahs is another shoegaze/lo-fi project, this time by the vocalist/guitarist in Little Death Nathan Hewitt. Also released by Young and Lost Club this week, is single "Warriors"/"Minotaur".

Sounding like an old Pavement recording that they did underwater into a dictaphone, with a voice like a somehow even more harrassed Eliott Smith, Cheatahs are also due to release an EP within the next couple of months.
