It's Jo And Danny - Lank Haired Girl to Bearded Boy

It's Jo And Danny may be a daft name for a band, but in this case it's very fitting. This London duo have made a debut album that is simply the sound of two music lovers pouring every influence they've got onto a four-track recorder. There's no frills, no big production and no big names; instead, the guitars, drums, vocals, a studio on loan and a little imagination all guarantee that every minute of these awkward, misshapen tunes sounds totally home-made. From the psychedelic freak out opener "Solar Plexus" to the freak folk instrumental "Arkle", it's clear that there's no hidden agenda, no obvious direction and no master plan; just two people, who don't give a damn what other people think, making music that's odd, innocent and downright beautiful.
