It’s time for Part two of what has grabbed my ears more than most in 2013 and given this blog has now been going for a year this list is pretty apt!

Both The Fireworks and Zipper produce joyous pop moments which remind me why I love indiepop in the first place. Girl One and The Grease Guns have been a revelation and a fourth single in less than a year is due soon. Political indiepop is on the wane but thankfully the likes of The Occasional Flickers remember how it’s done. Finally I not really a great fan of albums but Colour Me Wednesday’s I Thought It Was Morning has had a number of spins this year and Shut was taken from that release.

1. The Fireworks – Runaround (single, shelflife)

2. Zipper – No Esperes Un Programa Detallado (flip side, Elefant)

3. Girl One And The Grease Guns – Hitting The Brick Wall (flip side, Squirrel Records)

4. The Occasional Flickers – Capitalism Begins At Home (single, Cloudberry Records)
