Brewing Company – I Can’t Swim The nicely named Brewing Company are an indiepop/indie rock band from New York and I Can’t Swim is the follow up to 2018s debut Flight Night. I found the EP to be a diverse … Continue reading Midweek Three Pack….
Another mix collating tracks released in the past month or so. Lots to listen too here (hear?). Full tracklisting: The Tubs – I Don’t Know How It Works The debut single from another offshoot from Joanna Gruesome. The Empty Shell – You Can’t Hide The same is true for You Can’t Hide which gives nods towards the likes of The Wake and The Sea Urchins both musically and lyrically. Pop at Summer – Sunny Day Parade With a band name like Pop At Summer and a song title of Sunny Day Parade I will guess most people will fathom how … Continue reading Records I Like Mix March 2020
I am writing this one later than expected and as I listen, being a nice varied mix on this blustery Sunday Night. Australian indiepop legends Even As We Speak will be releasing a new album on Shelflife Records and Discos De Kirlian in June. Forgiving is the first single to be lifted from said album and it is, as you would expect from the band, to be a lovely twee/c86 inspired slab of pop music. The band play London’s Lexington on March 28th supported by Jetstream Pony and The Hannah Barberas. Guess who can’t make it – sigh. Talking of … Continue reading Weekend Round Up #2
And the catch up continues. Thankfully this lot are not a pain in the ear! Swedish indie veterans Easy will soon be releasing their new album titled Radical Innocence via A Turntable Friend Records on 24th April 2020. The first … Continue reading The Post Ear Infection Catch Up Post #2
So after suffering from a horrendous ear infection for the past few days (hey, what do you mean that explains my music choices?) I have been catching up with bookmarks and my inbox. Pale Lights have a new 7″ single … Continue reading The Post Ear Infection Catch Up Post #1
Californian’s Massage have released their first new song since last years Oh Boy album. Titled Michael Is My Girlfriend it’s a witty, catchy indie pop track containing plenty of hooks and other ear worms. The band state that it’s a preview of their second album which they promise to release later this year. Facebook Continue reading Massage – Michael Is My Girlfriend
Well a bit later than usual but finally here is the mix for February 2020 featuring tracks released in the past month or so – some a bit longer. 60 minutes of listening pleasure! Details and full tracklisting: Golden Teardrops – I Won’t Be Fooled Again Is that a bit of floor stompin’ northern soul I can hear creeping into to their brand of baroque/sunshine pop? I think it is you know! The Lousy Pop Group – Days It’s a gentle, wistful track that harks back to 1980s indiepop/twee and which fades away far too soon. Wild Nothing – Blue … Continue reading Records I Like Mix February 2020
This weeks pack of three features three bands from Australia. Relay Tapes – Dream Colour Brisbane’s Relay Tapes have been making ethereal shoegaze/dreampop for a couple of years now and the latest single Dream Colour is no exception to that … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three From Down Under
A catch up of stuff caught on the Records I Like Radar. The Radio Dept. have released a new single. Titled The Absence of Birds it’s backed with a remix of the same song. The former is a wispy indiepop song with folk-ish overtones whilst the latter mixes ambient with drone. You can get it from here. Diet Cig released a new track at the end of last month. Titled Night Terrors it’s a fine example of alternative pop with scary lyrics to match – boo! You can get it from here. Medway Scene veterans The Claim have a new … Continue reading Midweek Catch Up #1 – Indiepop &c
Tampopo’s last release Atompop was a pretty good EP so I was keen to hear how the follow up fared. Opener Down Under wrong footed me at first but the initial 1990s guitar sound soon gave way to more familiar indiepop sounds. OMG is one of those songs that remind me of so much but I just can’t put my finger on it! Suffice to say it’s a terrific jangling indiepop song with boy girl/vocals and erm, t-shirts. Despite coming from Denmark you would be forgiven thinking that the band come from, as the EP/first track titles and the artwork … Continue reading Tampopo – Half A World Away
