About Me

“An ace blend of Will Oldham and Michael Nesmith, with its edgy tones and weirded-out lyrics, ensure this is a narcotic necessity if you like slightly scruffy Americana.” (SoundsXP)

“An examination of tragic flaws in a tragic world it is an admirable debut.” (rockfeedback) “The songs are like being hugged by an old friend and on some sort of ancient primal level, they bring a sense of acheivement, as if you'd just heard the first ever country songs being played.” (Play Music) “what a great debut - a bunch of musicians getting off on the sounds they are creating 8/10" (Americana UK) “an album that can't help but make you smile, kick off your heels, pour another and get busy doing nothing.” (Disorder) “the best country-tinged indie-pop since the Lemonheads” (Maverick) “a collection of songs which can make even the coldest heart melt” (Rockbeatstone) “Honed to perfection” (The Morning Star) “Those save themselves very well themselves. The broken heart will be healed by the first little girl who runs beyond. Them it will break also but that is of later care” (Hanx.net) “***...(!)” (Q)Some of the Tailors come from the countryside, some from London and one from Vancouver.This year Trash Aesthetics released their debut album Wakey Wakey and pretty much everyone liked it. Their second release Come Dig Me Up is planned for 2008 - recorded by Jamie Lockhart and and Lee Smith in the belfry of Greenmount Villa (an old townhouse in Wakefield).You can pick up a copy of the first record in most good record shops or direct from Trash Aesthetics by clicking on the links below.
