Well-enunciated girls singing vaguely disturbing lyrics
Posted by BigJimBob on 8 March 2011 - 12:04pm.
This is a music sub-genre that I absolutely adore. The fact that I find this kind of vocal so exotic, probably says something about my Welsh comprehensive education - but perhaps, England Made Me:
I was thinking of doing a compilation but what to call call it? Maybe Poshcore. Anymore suggestions?

Poshcore
sounds vaguely like something that might be advertised in the back pages of the Sunday Sport
As with anything...
...simply add the suffix "dot com" and everything sounds rude.
Smoke Fairies
Posh as you like, a dab hand at 'unsettling' scenarios, cut-glass vowels and terribly polite to boot. Twangy too. Poshcore a go-go.
I've been meaning to
get this album. Is it any good?
Their somewhat twee name has prevented me from pressing the 'buy button' on amazon several times.
If you're
keen on British folk, psych, blues and spooky atmospherics - and of course, poshcore - I'd totally recommend. The name is terrible though, I do agree! Its on Spotify if you want a listen first...
I'm with you
It's a genre (if, indeed it is one) that I'm a fan of too.
If doing a playlist, you probably want Saint Etienne, Broadcast, possibly Stereolab, maybe even Sophie Ellis-Bextor (though perhaps something from her theaudience days).
I'd also recommend the God Help The Girl album. It's a side-project from Belle and Sebastian's Stuart Murdoch but the female vocalist on most tracks (Catherine Ireton from Go Away Birds) has that exact clipped, well-enunciated delivery you like.
"exotic"
a typo I think you missed the "r" key.
well yes
Well they are that as well.... but quite often exotic = erotic anyway.
Do these qualify?
..and perhaps
these ladies absolutely nail the idea of posh voiced rudeness
That was ace!
I bet Victoria Wood wishes she'd written that.

Poshcore song riddle
I've got a poshcore song on tape but lost the listing and don't know who it's by. Can you help?
There's a spoken word intro, backed by harmonica, words are something like: 'You've told me all your stories and I've told you all of mine'.
Thank you in advance

Sounds very much like "If I Give You A Smile" by Whistler.
Yes! Thank you!
Rose Elinor Dougall
Rose Elinor Dougall. Not really posh but very English indeed...
Peace Division
This might fit the bill
Dory Previn - Beware Of Young Girls
Written after her husband Andre went off with her mate Mia Farrow.
Does this count?
I wish they'd stayed together longer...
Brilliant.
This surely ?
And another,
song which also features the keyboard playing of Julian Marshall, Dancing In The City by Marshall Hain. Beautifully enunciated and very alluring.
