about
THE COMPLETE SHORT STORIES are a London-based cast of seven that have been charming and blazing their way through a string of dates at some of the capital’s legendary indie venues. Led by singer Kerry Adamson, the group have made an art of weaving ribbons of colour and sound into a spectral, other-worldly means of escape from the monotonous daily grind. We could list their influences in their entirety but you’d only go blind. Satisfy yourselves with the knowledge that between them The Complete Short Stories name check Kate Bush, Orange Juice, Radiohead, Trojan Records, Sonic Youth, Swervedriver and Pink Floyd, and then feel relieved that rather than sounding like a demented combination of the above, the seven piece make fragrantly melodic, disarmingly comforting music with crunchy sub-orchestral undertones. With a rising reputation for engrossing live performances and a knack for pulling you headfirst into their songs, the Complete Short Stories are set for a big year in 2011. Début album“Perfectly Still” is released in April, and the band (also with Gavin Ahern, Grant Frampton, John Hilton, Toby Levan, Naomi Paget and James Pickering) are set for their biggest year yet.
