Grand Pocket Orchestra - Ballet Shoes
Ballet Shoes - Grand Pocket Orchestra from Luke Franklin on Vimeo.
I know I keep going on about GPO, but they're deserving of far more attention than they're getting, in Ireland and elsewhere. Hope 2009 is good to them. "Ballet Shoes" is the lead track on their new ep, Make Happy War and is produced by Mario Thaler (The Notwist, Lali Puna). It reminds me of the fast, freewheeling hooks of Boces-era Mercury Rev.

The fact that she managed to keep the Ballet shoes hidden from her captors became a source of great hope for her, instilling a deep belief that she would see her parents again one day. Sure enough, when the war was over, they were reunited and eventually resettled in England, where she kept those ballet shoes as a constant reminder of what hope and belief can achieve in times of great despair.
