"At once, she arrives as a compelling new talent. A real find"
Sunday Times

"Until yesterday I thought all 18 year olds in Newbury did was nick sweets from Spar and set fires to bins, but being introduced to Sarah McIntosh aka The Good Natured has proved otherwise"
NME

"demure, forlorn, wry, quietly despairing and sad, even when the beats are house-y and fast or skittering and drum'n'bass-y."
The Guardian

"'The Good Natureds YBIAM is a frosty, electro pop classic'
Q Magazine

Having salvaged her Grandma's 1980's Yamaha keyboard, Home Counties girl Sarah McIntosh- aka The Good Natured- grabbed everyone's attention. Her first self-produced EP "Warriors" (2009) was an outpouring of emotion: a magical electronic introduction to her music. A year later, having been triumphed by the likes of Radio 1's Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens, and heralded by The Sunday Times as the new Kate Bush, McIntosh sat her A-levels and split up with her boyfriend. With these changes she found a whole new inspiration to write.

Fans old and new will be excited to hear the first product of this- the single "Your Body Is A Machine"- when it is released on July 5th. Here, to powerful effect McIntosh sets her raw emotion to a hypnotic beat. She somehow manages to pack a powerful punch whilst her vocals remain hauntingly composed. In 'Your Body is a Machine' The Good Natured riles against broken promises, narcissism and mindless hedonism: "We are influenced by our self love and benevolence. Narcissism is overwhelming."

Lyrically and musically, McIntosh displays a maturity far beyond her teenage years. McIntosh is unafraid to explore the human psyche in relation to her own experience. Her direct approach and honesty, coupled with a home-grown British quirkiness, makes The Good Natured an exciting, unique and compelling discovery. She has a natural ability to transport leftfield musical influences and dark teenage emotions and dark electronic aesthetics referencing to artists such as ....Japan.... and David Sylvian.
Your Body Is A Machine was written by McIntosh and produced by Dan Foat and Nathan Boddy (Delphic, I Blame Coco). The single features remixes by Zebra & Snake, Body Language, Aspirins for My Children, Radioproof and Baby Monster. The Zebra & Snake remix is featured on the Kitsune Maison compilation released April 26th with already radio support from Huw Stephens, Grimshaw and Kissy Sell Out, BBC Radio 1.

  • I jam to this

  • @TheKitch22 They're so different, and don't understand why you are comparing the two. I love both artists and they are both amazing in their own ways~ betch

  • @CeridwenHafMorys Excatly! British people shouldnt try changing their accents, its so beautiful and charming mann

  • @Tessactually

    She actually doesn't put an American accent on, which I think's quite rare for today's pop/rock singers.

  • Make more like this! I love this one! Can't say the others got me as much & also I love the style of the singer in this video :) rock on!

  • this music is different, i love it

  • @TheKitch22 - Ladytron is more electro inspired with glam and new wave inspiration, but still more an electro package. Ladytron is great, but dropped too much by people just discovering this genre and completely overrated. The Good Natured = 100% New Wave Revival ! It's not just an image or a sound, It's a movement of resurrecting the sound and emotion, that encompassed the new romantic scene in the 1980's. The Good Natured" is capturing that scene better than Ladytron did in their 99 premiere.

  • 80s new wave is back

  • brilliant
