GEORGE PRINGLE Drownload Number 3: We Could Have Been Heroes

Since I last wrote about George Pringle last month she’s, amongst other things, been on the back page of the Guardian, had a full page in Mix Mag where they called her the art-school girl version of Mike Skinner, made her first video (see below), got featured on the front of Pitchfork and has been invited out on a UK tour with Does it Offend You? Yeah! Here, now, comes the third download from her debut release which is out at the end of the month.
Maybe it’s just me but there’s something universal about those last parties, that kind of Dazed & Confused warm feeling, muddled with an end of times ache but also in flux the hope that the next thing and your whole future, from this day forth, will be three times more exciting. It’s all utterly contrary. There’s a hazy sense of nostalgia and resistance to change in the air with those parties. The worst bit is dangling before your eyes are the limbs of those you’d rather never see again. Encapsulating this isn’t easy but at 4am with her sunglasses covering her smudged eyeliner, that’s exactly what George Pringle set out to do. ‘We Could Have Been Heroes’ is the morning, bathed in twilit-disco lights and the result of a night of love, loss, tears and resentment of gin-soaked memories after one of her last nights in Oxford.
This download follows previous RCRDLBL.com downloads ’Carte Postale’ (video below) and ‘I’m Very Scared Buster’ which will join this track on her debut EP entitled ‘Poor Ep, Poor Ep Without a Name’ which she’s self-releasing, hand-wrapped with a poster of her collage-art, a limited edition run of CDs on February 25th. Keep checking her myspace for details of how to buy it.
