Lost Artists is a new occasional feature for Demo Tapes, where we shine a light on criminally under-rated artists from yesteryear - and find out what happened next for them.
First up, we've got an interview with Theoretical Girl, aka Amy Sharp. TG emerged as part of the same late '00s Southend music scene as The Horrors and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, before signing to Memphis Industries and gigging everywhere from Glastonbury to Japan (and many places in between).
Although her 2009 debut 'Divided' was acclaimed by music critics and fans, it would prove to be her only album release, as she stepped back from the spotlight. In our chat, Amy reminisces about the amazing '00s music scene and talks about what she's up to now - including bringing through the next generation of musicians as a piano teacher.
Elsewhere in the episode, Rick raves about the best new albums that have been released this year - namely Goat Girl's sophomore album 'On All Fours' and The Orielles' film soundtrack live record thing 'La Vita Olistica' - whilst Sarah reveals why she's been listening to Metronomy's 2011 classic 'The English Riveriea' again.
