For the next few days we'll feature more of the excellent new psychedelic singles released by Fruits De Mer this August. As always their attention to detail makes it a must for your vinyl collection.
Keith at FdM "White Sails are a group combining musicians from the USA (Leigh Gregory) and Finland (Ville Vilpponen and his brother, Jaakko). Leigh and Ville are long-time members of the San Francisco music scene -- Leigh fronted Mellow Drunk for many years, while Ville is a member of the power-pop band The Bias; their first album was released last year on Ruska Records.
After getting in touch with Leigh, I explained that I'd heard his solo guitar pieces and I was looking for someone who shared my love for a couple of very old acoustic instrumentals by....er....Black Sabbath....
long pause while Leigh tracked the songs in question down and came back with a, "Yes, let's do it!"
Many months later, and here we are -- two lovely Sabbath covers, played by Leigh and his new band While Sails, together with two original songs, one written by Leigh, the other by Ville.
