We first posted about Would-Be-Goods (London, England) back in 2021, and at that time Jessica Griffin had been challenged by her partner Peter Momtchiloff to write and record a song per day. "The Night Life" is a CD which compiles 20 tracks from that project.

Griffin's voice is sweet - reminiscent of Vashti Bunyan. But the music isn't really folk. It has more of a baroque pop feel - in some ways it reminds me of Belle and Sebastian or Tele Novella. The earlier post mentioned Momus and The Happy Family.

While this CD seems to be self-released, I would like to issue a quick reminder - Matinee Recordings has released many Would-Be-Goods releases over the years. Check them out to see the myriad of artists Griffin has worked with on each release.

Now we have Sister Wives. The band definitely recall the work of Look Blue, Go Purple, Francisca Griffin or older posts like Would-Be-Goods, Susan or Seablite.

L’inconfondibile voce di Jessica Griffin ci regala da ormai quattro decenni melodie che incantano, come se gli anni non fossero mai passati...

Would-Be-Goods - Tears Before Bedtime

Would-Be-Goods es una banda que, a lo tonto, ya lleva cuatro décadas en la música. Este proyecto capitaneado por Jessica Griffin empezó su andadura en los últimos ochenta, y lo hizo a lo grande, ya que en 1988 consiguieron un pequeño éxito con la deliciosa “The Camera Loves Me”. Pero lo cierto es que siempre ha sido un grupo poco prolífico. En parte, porque realmente es una aventura musical de…

Songs To Brush Your Teeth To: Five Tracks you should listen to this week (26th January)

Songs To Brush Your Teeth To (26th January) Time for our latest new music recommendations. I don’t have much to say about this week’s list. It all sort of fell into place really nicely. The whole process felt smoother this week – I guess theme of the week is ‘organisation’. As always it was a last minute scramble to choose the final tracks, but that was mostly because someone recommended an…
