| A kind of charming sadness Yeah Buddy, Liverpool Emilio Pinchi shows the depth of solo-performing talent we have in this city, possessing some fine tunes Bido Lito! Influenced by the likes of Elliott Smith and The Antlers, Liverpool based Emilio Pinchi carves his own perspective on folk-punk, offering a stark, honest outlook on everyday life. Having racked up performances around the Midlands and North West, Emilios music has been aired on BBC Introducing and other independent stations, and he has recently performed live sessions for both BBC Merseyside and BBC stoke. Staying true to his roots, 2014 saw Emilio release Trying Man, a track he produced in his kitchen after shunning established studios for a DIY approach. The lo-fi record has since grabbed the attention of the Liverpool music scene, and has garnered positive opinion from Bido Lito, amongst other blogs and reviewers. The latter half of the year has seen Emilio quietly cause further excitement, playing a plethora of unique shows which have included a support slot with Nell Bryden at The Arts Club, an appearance on Bay TV Liverpools televised launch show, and even a live performance on a moving train. Emilio will spend the first half of 2015 working on a compelling new project, which will involve the recording and release of new material in a truly singular fashion.

This, paired with their organic and collaborative writing style, are the ingredients for their unique sound, which Michelle describes as 'Both of our personalities personified'. The combination of Michelles soulful voice and Alexs intricate guitar playing, bring a certain class and retro vibe to an undeniable contemporary groove. Since their creation in 2013, the band has played countless shows, becoming regulars at local events as well as appearing at Fiesta Bombarda and Liverpool International Music Festival.

Its about the projection of fantasy; getting lost in the worlds of people we watch on the silver screen, obsession, glamour, and desire, reveals Postcards From Jeff alter ego Joss Worthington. It references being mesmerised by someone and the ideas you project onto them
Equally reflecting a penchant for the skilled soundtracks of Angelo Badalamenti, David Torn, and Alexandre Desplat, and the relationship between Alfred Hitchcock and Tippi Hedren whilst filming The Birds, Suburban Girls influences are as broad as they are wide. With a sparkling melody that paves the way for Worthingtons deadpan baritone, each melodic twist and turn is like a one-way window onto someones multifaceted life. I always like to invent a world for the songs to live in so I'm often creating visual images in my mind to accompany the lyrics, Worthington explains. I like to see the lyrics as little movies although they are always more abstract than that.
Helping to realise his vision, Worthington has once again turned to his blossoming friendship with Brighton-based filmmaker-photographer Steve Glashier (whose showreel credits include videos for Primal Scream, Prodigy, Fatboy Slim, and Julliette Lewis). Having created the videos for previous Postcards tracks 'A House' and the Wim Wenders inspired 'Awake', what originally began as a simple musical project has now evolved into a fully-fledged tragic-romantic narrative, with 'Suburban Girl' akin to a sequel in Postcards From Jeffs ever-evolving trajectory.
We wanted to take the people from A House and explore their world a bit more, reveals Worthington. There were a lot of considerations to getting it right though.
Shot on location in Brighton using Glashiers heavyweight Medium Format camera, the videos timeless look appears to be the point at which the glitz of LAs Hollywood Hills and European Cinematic influences meet. Adding to its fly on the wall voyeuristic style, the films concentric circles focus in on the glamour puss meets girl-next-door character who recalls the femme fatale of Edie Factory Girl Sedgwick and leaves you with more questions than it does answers.
Theres a glamorous element to the characters but darker undercurrents make things a lot weirder, Worthington explains. I was quite adamant about exploring that in a balanced way, I didnt want it to be judgemental nor did I want the characters to seem too aspirational.
Written, played, recorded, mixed and mastered by Postcards From Jeff in his Distant City studio located in the midst of Yorkshires rolling landscape, Suburban Girl marks the point at which the world outside has become a new sonic playground for Worthingtons vast melodic exploration. Be one of the first to experience it when Postcards From Jeff broadens his horizons even further and plays some special shows this spring ahead of the eagerly anticipated debut album.
"A dreamy ride that gets inside of you in a good way. This is a new type of dreampop, folks. Get on board, take a journey."
In Your Speakers
"Taking vast almost cinematic synth beds and layering them with indie melodies and a gentle and somewhat understated vocal, this is dreampop with expansiveness."
I Love Pie
"A Brooding Indie Pop masterclass."
Fecking Deadly
"Somewhere poetry meets pop, electronica and folk dosado, film and reality collide and Postcards From Jeff takes all these inspirations and weaves them into new stories, new songs, new roads."

Co-written with Don Mescal (Rascal Flatts, Clay Aiken, Backstreet Boys, Boyzone etc), with production by Don Mescal and Tom Nichols (Celine Dion, All Saints, Sugababes, Hall & Oates and Kylie Minogue to name but a few), ‘Turn Your Light On’ is the track that’s set to catapult Giulia into the supernova limelight this spring. Simplistically shrouded in a cavernous black backdrop, the video creates a spectacular light display of dancing colour and brightness – modern, creative and abundant with captivating visual appeal; ensuring that ‘Turn Your Light On’ blasts onto the scene in a flood of light.
VIDEO (Just posted/Unlisted on YouTube until its official premiere next week!)
To support the 'World Earth Hour' on March 28th, Giulia recorded a special acoustic performance of her single and changed the lyrics to 'Turn Your Light Off' - coming next week!
Giulia is a young Italian beauty with the wisdom of the world firmly woven into the foundation of her upbringing. Born in Rome, Giulia experienced an eclectic and well-traveled childhood as her family moved from Italy to Argentina, then back to Europe before she decided to focus her musical development in the cultural and creative melting pot of London. The only daughter to Marco Doná dalle Rose, who was a professional polo player, and Flavia Persone - a successful fashion entrepreneur, competitive ambition and exuberant expression were a genetic gift to the young Giulia. Her early years in Argentina exposed the Giulia to the music that firmly embedded itself in her subconscious and went on to influence her later writing and recording style. Classic, Country, Soul, Blues & Jazz favorites such as Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald could all be heard coming from Giulia’s bedroom. Whilst other 12 year olds would favor more bubble gum pop, the entranced Giulia was furnished with a more sophisticated palate for music at its greatest.
