Sutja Gutiérrez – Ah, No

“This songs are so easy, not clean and little bit sad.
But I don’t know my mind, I don’t know you I know nothing.
Is cool have time to write your sadness.
I think “The Way I Feel” is just a fragment of you.”

Have you met Tom of Munch Munch?

Browsing through the local concert line-ups, the Poule stumbled upon a familiar name: Munch Munch. According the always accurate data miner that is last.fm, their song ‘Wedding’ rotated a lot in January. Sadly, the song -and for that matter Munch Munch- then got lost in the abyss of the ever-expanding iTunes library. Checking their social media outlets now, the Poule had to realize to have slept on Munch Munch the entire summer.. they accumulated quite a fan base since January and they claim several articles in popular magazines their own. They also played “some” festival called SXSW in March. After having toured the UK this fall, they now cross the canal to take their circus to mainland Europe. Lucky us. Their debut album “Double Visions” will be released through Upset The Rhythm on November 29th. Order your copy here.
