TVD Vinyl Giveaway: The Good Natured’s Skeleton EP

At twenty years old, most of us are settled into dorm room life away at college, or perhaps working some minimum wage job in food service or retail. But Sarah McIntosh has surpassed such young adult normalcy and is instead the frontwoman for the English electro-pop band The Good Natured.

The band has had three self-produced albums before this and we are happy to announce that we are giving away one 10″ vinyl copy of their UK EP release Skeleton—in advance of their US debut on Astralwerks (also called Skeleton) which will be available on October 25.

As she told us, vinyl has had a positive influence on Sarah and her brother Hamish, The Good Natured’s guitar player.

“Hamish and I are brother and sister, and our parents have always been really into music,” Sarah said. “When we were growing up we always listened to their vinyl collection, mostly records from their youth like Depeche Mode and Tears For Fears. Their vinyl collection really inspired us from a young age, and has had a big influence on our sound.”

“The last record I acquired was Japan’s ‘Ghosts’. My best friend’s Dad went to see them in the 80s and bought a record from the show. I broke my foot in May and he gave me it as a little present to cheer me up! Occasionally we like to pop down to Rough Trade East in Brick Lane, London to see what we can find! Watch out for us next year! We’ll be coming over to the US to play some shows early 2012 and we cannot wait!”

That New Wave-era Depeche Mode / Tears For Fears influence can definitely be detected on Skeleton, especially in this video for the single of the same name.

To win this vinyl copy of the UK EP edition of Skeleton, tell us in the comments of this post one of your favorite electronica / indie pop bands to make your booty shake.

One that never fails me at impromptu dance parties is Passion Pit.

The album is being released next week on October 25th, and we will select our winner that day. Reminder: winner must have a mailing address in the continental U.S. or Canada to be eligible to win.
