A decade separates today's pair.
That and very little immediate information.
(But I don't look too hard either)
Deeper Than the Ocean (1989)
The Mayfields hailed from Salisbury in the UK if the wiki page about a completely other band is to be believed. I'm just going to go with it. It's about all I came up with.
They released a grand total of two singles and a split single in their lifetime. This is the second and on the Bus Stop Label. It's a nice little Brit Pop double sider with the usual ever so just out of tune vocals that make these sorts of things so utterly charming.
The jangly A side is the winner.
Perfect song for putting on Tapes for Girls.
Make somebody special a playlist.
On Holiday With... (1999)
The Maulies. A few dead ends and eventually somebody else's blog where they were also looking for info turns up and reveals that these four fine ladies were from Austin, Texas.
One measly single and pair of compilation appearances later and they were gone.
This one is utterly fucking great though. Three songs. "Rude Limey" about a terrible English bloke which should brighten anybody's day, a decent cover of the Kinks' "Gotta Get the First Plane Home" and an instrumental called "Tofu π"
Just fucking perfect.
Use wisely.
