Back in 2007, I had a short-lived but rather intense love affair with the music of Kate Nash. The story goes that Kate fell down the stairs, broke her leg, and, out of sheer boredom, picked up a guitar and penned the collection of songs that were the basis for her tragically over-produced debut album, 'Made of Bricks'.Had it been a synthesizer and not a guitar that Kate had chosen to use in writing the songs, I imagine the demos she produced would have sounded something like The Good Natured. Although 19-year-old Sarah McIntosh's London accent is perhaps not as grating as poor Kate's, there's more tham a passing similarity between the two girls' voices.
Teaming shimmery synths, staccato drumbeats and heartfelt lyrics, McIntosh's music is both absorbing and addictive. Each new track she posts on her Myspace is better than the next and she's definitely worth earmarking as one to watch.
