A PHOTO INTERVIEW WITH FAR CONCERN 
The innovative websiteA NEGATIVE NARRATIVE make interviews with bands, but instead of answering with words, the artists have to take a photograph for each question. We are collaborating with A Negative Narrative on this single-series, and they have made photo-interviews with our single-artists. Visit http://anegativenarrative.com/ and see more bands’ photographic answers to their interview questions.
THE COVER SONG:
We have encouraged the single-bands to make a cover version of a song they think deserve more attention. FAR CONCERN have chosen to cover “Suddenly yr in my heart”, originally performed by Scraps.
Here is the original:
Scraps is the performing name of Laura Hill, who makes charming electronic pop in Brisbane, Australia. She is a very well kept secret, and hasn’t performed all that much outside of Brisbane, but has developed a strong reputation in her hometown. Scraps blends clever and original song writing, somewhat wonky electronic keyboard playing, catchy melodies and a big personality. A release on new Brisbane independent label that is making waves in its own right, Bedroom Suck, is forthcoming. Scraps has also produced videos for her a few of her tracks, a real purveyor of DIY bedroom-pop!
