Record of the Week: Lucien Caine 'EP1'

From Manchester with Love...

Even when you think you heard it all Manchester comes up with a new groundbreaking Artist. This week sees the release of Lucien Caine's first ep proper. You might not remember the electronic band called Alpinestars in the early 2000 but this guy was part of that band. He then went on releasing a 12" I would qualify as a bridge between his electronic previous sound and his new singer-songwriter-with-a-twist new sound called 'Coco'. He has now found his own identity and the single you can purchase this week is the first in a series of 4 that will be released this year.

You can visit his page and listen to some of his tracks at MySpace.
You can download his tracks for a fee at 7Digital, iTunes or emusic.
You can purchase the real thing on record at Piccadilly Records or Rough Trade.
