This Is Something Old, Something New, Something Balearic, Something Blue

This Is Something was the debut - and to date, only - single by The Summerisle Six in June 2022.

This Is Something of a supergroup, founded by Sean Johnston (Hardway Bros, A Love From Outer Space) and featuring Jo Bartlett (It's Jo & Danny, Kodiak Island, Blue Train), Andy Bell (Ride, Oasis, GLOK), Duncan Gray (Sons Of Slough, Tici Taci), Kevin Sharkey (The Undertones, That Petrol Emotion) and blistering sax from Mick Somerset Ward (Alison Moyet, Róisín Murphy).

This Is Something was re-posted on YouTube last week, with a brand new, bespoke video created for the original extended mix by Jo Bartlett. It starts off with a beautiful bllue, cloudy sky and has fun playing with the effects box for the nexy eight minutes or so.

This Is Something is available as a 4-track digital EP on Bandcamp for a mere £7.00, containing the extended mix, a radio edit and a dub as well as a stunning 10 minute remix from Rico Conning.

This Is Something was originally released as a 3-track 12" single (minus the radio edit) on Is It Balearic? and hit the #1 spot in the Juno vinyl chart back in 2022. Happily, vinyl copies are still available for a bargain #7.50, plus shipping. 

This Is Something of a sales pitch rather than a review, I realise in retrospect, but the music is too good to ignore. Buy now!
