Sholi – Dreams Before People

This may just be a free tour EP, a teeny little three-song affair, but it has done its job. I only heard about these guys because Josh from Touch & Go/Quarterstick Records emailed me to let me know that they had signed them up to release their debut album.
As I wait for that to become available all I have in the meantime is a free digital EP that they were selling on their last tour, comprising the a-sides of their previous two single and a gorgeous acoustic song which is the record’s title track. The three songs are all very different, and I would like to post them all there, but that would be mean. All That We Can is nice and shoegazey, and Hejrat, a Googoosh cover, is an odd but good mix of Spaghetti Western soundtrack with just a little dash of Arabic in there somewhere. I’ve never heard of Googoosh, but this is really good, although the Arabic thing could just be me imagining things, but there you go.
To download this little gem go their MySpace page and use the link in their latest blog posting. Their earlier stuff can be bought from their website here, and for now that’s all she wrote. I’m really looking forward to this album.
