Soccer Committee
Sc
This is the first record by Mariska Baars from Leiden, Holland. Since 2002, she has been writing and recording songs under the name soccer Committee. Her first self-released CD-R was very well received, which resulted in a.o. a spot on the prestigious Dwars-festival of the Dutch VPRO-radio. The experience of her live-shows, in which she stripped her own songs even further, is clear on her debut-CD. Aart Schakenbos (Julie Mittens) managed to get the spaciousness of these songs on tape. The CD comes in a stylish cardboard gatefold sleeve, designed by Rutger Zuyderveldt of Machinefabriek, who also remixed the opening track Carps. This remix is available on his DOUBLE-CD 'Weleer'. Offering minimal songwriting with intriguing female vocals, 'sC' is recommended if you like Julie Doiron, Richard Youngs, early Catpower, Annelies Monseré, Anton Webern... Minimal songwriting with intriguing female vocals.
