Fell City Girl emerged from Oxford amidst deafening noise and epic soundscapes, to much acclaim. Raised on a diet of Sigur Ros, Mogwai, early Verve, and Bjork, the band make post-rock pop songs that soundtrack the last pages of their favourite books.
At once a post-rock band, the next minute, a pop band, Fell City Girl are trying to break your heart. Post rock died a long time ago: this is the sound of a band working out where it goes next, gloriously out of step with anyone else around them. "I spend my days hiding in corners of bookshops reading the last sentences of books and I spend my nights hiding in the corners of rehearsal rooms trying to make the soundtrack to what I've read that day" explains singer Phil McMinn. This is the sound of old film stars, of a world seemingly tearing itself apart, of illegal wars and of protest struggling to be heard.
In the last two years Fell City Girl have opened the Carling Reading and Leeds weekends, supported Longview on a UK tour, sold out the 500 capacity Zodiac in Oxford three times in 12 months, watched as over 200 people turned up for their Virgin Megsatore Instore show, put out two long since sold out releases, 7" single 'Weaker Light' on Nomadic and their debut Lavolta Records EP 'Swim', played with Explosions in the Sky, Four Tet, The Zutons, The Cooper Temple Clause, and (not forgetting) the mighty Girls Aloud. The new single 'February Snow' (Lavolta Records) was picked up by both Jonathan Ross and Mark Radcliffe on BBC Radio 2, BBC 6Music, and playlisted by XFM.



Fell City Girl's new EP 'February Snow' is released Oct 23rd 2006 on Lavolta Records. It was recorded in studios country-wide and is strictly limited to 500 7" and 500 CD's.
