Recommended: The Good Natured

The Good Natured

A reader shot us an email this afternoon to share the amazing electro-songwriting talents of Sarah McIntosh. Sarah performs and records under the name of The Good Natured.

So good was the nature of the music (feel free to cringe at the wordplay, folks), that we decided to run an impromptu Recommended post.

Any visit to MySpace is the musical equivalent. You never know if the artist is going to exhilarate you or take away your will to live. Thankfully, The Good Natured are one of those acts that reaffirm our faith in music.

She’s been described as like “Kate Nash fronting The Postal Service”, and that’s exactly what we thought when we heard her first time round.

There’s an artsy quirkiness to the material, coupled with some dark electronic keyboard riffing – thinking specifically Ivory Tower and Heart Of Stone here. And guess what? She’s only, like, 17 years old! Surely this level of sonic brilliance takes decades to perfect? Well, apparently not.

Possibly the most accurate description of The Good Natured can be found here:

Neither overly sweetened, or irritatingly bitter – Sarah’s created the perfect cup of musical tea. In other words, good fucking pop.

Sarah’s received a lot of positive attention in the blogosphere, and there are plenty of recommendations, notably:

I love this girl. She’s a well earned break for the music industry… we needed her. With vocals somewhere between Kate Nash and Adele, she is sure to find a place in the hearts of British music fans. With the industry’s callings aside, Sarah pushes all the right buttons. A busty electro vibe and classy vintage image, she’s kicking holes popular music and making way for a new kind of eletro-thrusted sound.

We agree wholeheartedly. In fact, this lady needs to release an album. Now.

In the meantime, you can feed your yearning for The Good Natured when the Warriors EP gets released on 6th October.

Finally, dear readers, as with any Recommended band on Unreality Music…

  1. If you’ve got a blog or website, tell your friends and readers about The Good Natured.
  2. Visit their MySpace page and friend them. Then get all your friends to friend them.

Music like this is almost too good for the charts, but Sarah McIntosh could beat the Britney brigade with one keyboard hand tied behind her back. Spread the word.
