Biography
Jamie Says (Jamie Says…) - Initially the solo 4 track lo fi pop of one Kyle Hill, formerly of Leicester band Circa 1983.
One home made album was originally available via Circa 1983's old website - The Silver Screen And The Stanley Blade. Clocking in at just over 30 minutes, Kyle's self made record reeked style, short snappy and melodic indie tracks, riffing off everyone from the Joy Division to the Velvet Underground, all done with a freshness and frenetic pace that was both infectious and entertaining.
A second solo home made LP was made, Soul Gumshoe which extended the 'melancholy as joy' aesthetic of the first LP, with improved production and the same sharp song writing and frenetic playing.
A single 'Down to the Debauchuary' was later released on Sorted Records in 2004, the band now a fully fledged 4 piece. The single featured 2 tracks not on the earlier LPs, but none the less a superb studio based slice of melodic indie worthy of greater attention.
This was followed by the 2006 LP Autumn Sun, once again on Sorted Records, featuring updated versions of the earlier lo fi recordings.
