Indie Cindy On Snowmoor

Cindytalk, On Snowmoor...

Taken from the album 'The Wind Is Strong' released on the Indie 'Midnight Music Record Label' 1990. Really quite captivating and beautiful, with the metronome sound ticking in the background, ethereal type singing kind of akin to The Cocteau Twins also here in the Indie Music Archives, or Dead Can Dance and their track 'Windfall' also on this site, the song building up into the sound of the wind howling across empty moorland and evolving into a lulling piano. Very atmospheric.

Beginnings & The Freeze

They were formed in Edinburgh in 1982 by Cindy Sharp and David Clancy from the remnants of a band formed in 1976 called The Freeze...

This track is called 'Paranoia' and is from their 7" single called 'In Colour' released in 1979 on the self financed A.1 Record Label. Cindy Sharp being credited as 'Gordon Sharp'. 

The Skids & Peel Sessions

The band's highlight was supporting The Skids in 1977. They also performed two 'Peel Sessions' in late November 1980 and August '81 and Sharp also contributed vocals to The Cocteau Twins second 'Peel Session'.

The track listing for the 7" 'In Colour' is:

• Paranoia
• For J.P.S. (with love and loathing)
• Psychodalek Nightmares

Check it out on Discogs as well as their second single 'Celebration' on the same label in 1980.
