Give, Give, Give Me More, More, More…..

Tom

I think this final post of the week finally sees me catching up with my bandcamp bookmarks, well the stuff I liked, for now. Lightfoils – Summer Nights (radio edit) An absolute belter of a shoegazing track. Dreamy and ethereal. Just the way I like ’em. I cannot really say any more so press play now! Edit: A longer 8 minute version can be found on the just released Chambers EP. Facebook Death of Heather – I Can Tell Bangkok’s Death of Heather build upon the promise of their July demos delivering a lovely polished dreampop effort that will be … Continue reading Give, Give, Give Me More, More, More…..

It features some excellent indiepop tunes from the likes of Marble Gods, Andrew Younker and Orchid Mantis amongst others.

Facebook Come On Feel The NoiZe, Vol. 2 – Americas´Attack The Blog That Celebrates Itself Records follow up last years Brazilian compilation … Continue reading Now That’s What I Call Compilations…..

Bootchy Temple – Lady Sunshine

Tom

The Bordeaux based band Bootchy Temple have been releasing tunes for a few year now but this is the first time I have heard anything by them. And what an introduction it is as Lady Sunshine sounds like Stereolab if they were making a track for inclusion on C86. It’ s short, sweet and brilliant. Must delve into their back catalogue at some point – adds another name to the list! Lady Sunshine is taken from the album Glimpses that will be released later this month on Howlin’ Banana Records. Pre-order from here. Facebook Continue reading Bootchy Temple – Lady Sunshine

Grrrl Gang – Not Sad, Not Fulfilled

Tom

More songs mainly about love, both shared and unrequited, from Indonesian indiepoppers Grrrl Gang who do their C86 thing to great effect especially on old fave Dream Grrrl. Things get more interesting on the melancholic Night Terrors and the Riot Grrrl inspired, both lyrically and musically, Guys Don’t Read Sylvia Plath which could be their finest moment to date. Given I said that in my last post their next track should be an absolute corker! Instagram Continue reading Grrrl Gang – Not Sad, Not Fulfilled

На гребне волны – Облака EP

Tom

I am still unsure what the band’s name in English. Is it still On the Crest of a Wave or now as Google is suggesting Point Break? To be honest I don’t care because what I do know is that this is another fine EP full of well crafted indiepop songs. It’s the lovely female ethereal vocals (think Flowers Rachel Kenedy) that are going to hit home first before the guitars and percussion grab your attention. The music varies from the classic 1980’s indie pop sound (‘Нет продолжения’) to 1960’s surf music (‘Воробьевы горы’) whilst it’s the title track, which … Continue reading На гребне волны – Облака EP
