some of it was true!

My terrific and often angry flatmate, known as The Drill, was recently trying to name a film: it featured waif-like women in watery scenes, and equal doses of innocence, whimsy and lurking anger.  The movie turned out to be Heavenly Creatures, and it might as well have been scored by partial namesake Creatures of Love.  The London act’s aptly-named ‘dreampop’ revolves around the voice of Bonita McKinney, a stupurous, swirling love potion of a sound that, in league with throbbing keys and chiming guitars, slowly convinces you that your eyes… are better… closed….. And yet there’s a intensity present here, too, the lyrics being a fevered maze of pent-up emotions, honeyed lust and see-through social masks.
