Continuing the series of posting albums and/or EPs as and when they are released (or usually a bit after!) as a follow up to the initial new tracks/singles posts posted on this blog. Sample the release via the You Tube track then dive in to the full release.
Art Moore – Art Moore
Art Moore feature Taylor Vick from Boy Scouts alongside Sam Durkes and Trevor Brooks who collaborated with Ezra Furman on the Sex Education Netflix series soundtrack. Their new self titled effort is their debut album release and it’s full of drifting, wind swept dreampop which highlights Vick’s lovely voice. The album is full of beautiful, ethereal songs and the highlight for me is Rewind simply because it reminds me of Spacemen Three’s Just To See You Smile.
Art Moore is out now via Anti-Records.
Grazer – Melancholics Anonymous
“These Days (Pass Me By) mixes post-punk, riffs taken from New Order’s back catalogue and swirling indiepop melodies. The female backing vocals are to die for.”
Melancholics Anonymous is out now via Cascine.
Northern Portrait – The Swiss Army
(At Attention) “Stefan’s soaring vocals are catchier than ever whilst the heavy sounding jangling guitars are just as effective as layer after layer builds.”
“Titled Once Upon A Bombshell, it’s pretty laidback when compared to it’s predecessor At Attention having more than a hint of a ballad running through it. The jangling guitars move at a slower pace whilst the sounds of an organ and mellotron are added to the mix. The voice of Stefan Larsen, is as distinctive as ever.”
The Swiss Army is out now via Matinee Recordings. Those in the UK can order from Rough Trade.
