Really?

― Alba (Alba), Friday, 10 September 2004 16:08 (twenty-two years ago)

No.

Well, they try to. There is also a pronounced Strokes influence, you know. And their name? Don't get me started.

If you're into indie telephone vocals, you'll like them.

Reading the question a bit closer, yes. They work within that "spirit," I think. Better answer: maybe Felt? I am no expert, I admit, Orange Juice though I do love. I've long had plans to start a glorified OJ tribute band -- FF have made this seem more viable, less smart.

Haircut One Hundred sounded like what OJ perhaps would have done had Edwyn let himself really go for the pop thing. Nick Heyward admitted on more than one occasion that he took most of his inspiration from the OJ sound and style.

I, incidentally, apparently sound like Paul Haig whoever I am trying to imitate when I sing, according to fellow ILM-er Daniel aka Japanese Giraffe.

oh, don't forget the first two Flipper's Guitar albums, as well. Very 'the sound of young Scottorando desu ne'

Give the Bodines "Therese" a go.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 10 September 2004 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

What about the June Brides or maybe the Fire Engines... kind of.

The too-obvious suggestion is to check the other Postcard participants - early Aztec Camera and Go-Betweens may or may not share some of the specific characteristics you seek.

Bodines seconded!

Fire Engines from the 80s
Yummy Fur from the 90s

I was just reading the Suway Sect threads. Certainly a shared sensibility.

Jens Lekman, kind of, sort of.

The Happy Family had members of Josef K and the music is pretty similar.

Care of the Cow?

― Rockist_Scientist (rockist_scientist), Saturday, 11 September 2004 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Well they remind me a little of Orange Juice. Very little.

― Rockist_Scientist (rockist_scientist), Saturday, 11 September 2004 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Does anyone else remember Care of the Cow? Could they have had a worse name?

― Rockist_Scientist (rockist_scientist), Saturday, 11 September 2004 00:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Jens Lekman does kind of sing like Edwyn a bit. And he is good.

Chic! Uh.

Er, Gorky's Zygotic Myncy?

― Momus (Momus), Saturday, 11 September 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Um, The Smiths?

What the shit? I grew up in Syracuse, New York. That orange is the university's mascot! What a acrazy image to stumble across.

― Justin Farrar (Justin Farrar), Sunday, 12 September 2004 01:05 (twenty-two years ago)

two years pass...

look into

Hey Paulette

Really. Goes right along with this sort of thing. Late 80s. Really obscure until only recently. They've just had everything they've ever done re-released on one lp, on Clarendon. Singer sounds like he wants to be Edwyn of Orange Juice, guitar player sounds like he wants to be Johnny Marr, and, they both come close! Nice.

(This is out of nowhere. I'm listening to Orange Juice, I did a search, yeah...)

The real answer now is Bricolage:

Bricolage are utterly OJ copyists. Quite befuddling on first listen, it's like a covers band.

Although poppier, you might like Dogs Die in Hot Cars.

― paulhw, Sunday, 27 May 2007 03:40 (nineteen years ago)

ludus are reminiscent of orange juice, but w/female vox

― dell, Sunday, 27 May 2007 04:23 (nineteen years ago)

Brideshead
