Release Notes:
David Vandervelde's debut full-length The Moonstation House Band (released on
January 23, 2007) has been praised by critics, hailed as a stunning debut and a
"glamorous, ambitious studio work" (CMJ). Mojo rejoiced in "the arrival of an
eccentric talent whose head is firmly inclined toward the past" while NME
claimed his work recalls "the best of T. Rex, ELO or early Bee Gees." Now, only
six months after introducing David Vandervelde to the world with his debut 45
"Jacket", Secretly Canadian is presenting the album's lead-off track "Nothin No"
as the second single from The Moonstation House Band. A paean to young lust and
getting high, "Nothin No" is a modern rock classic that recalls the spirit of
glam rock's most earnest & timeless teen anthems. Written & recorded almost
three years ago when Vandervelde was 19 years old, it was put to tape in just
one night at Jay Bennett's Pieholden Studio in Chicago. Vandervelde played all
the instruments in an inspired frenzy that belied his age, displaying the
maturity and swagger of a man much longer in the tooth.
Also included on this extended CD single are an alternate version of "Feet of a
Liar" (recorded for Vandervelde's Daytrotter session at the end of 2006), a
visceral new song called "Cute Pretender" and a beautiful Jimmy Page-esque
instrumental called "Dancing Sea Gulls Instrumental".
