After hearing their 2019 single In A Space I gave the The Science of Words output a wide berth despite the band containing one of the nicest people I have ever met in indiepop circles. However when their new single … Continue reading The Science of Words – Day Crash/Weekend Away

Ryan Marquez is channelling his inner Creation Records on the latest release from The Umbrella Puzzles. More specifically The Loft seem to be a major influence to the sound found on the On The Meadow EP none more so on … Continue reading The Umbrella Puzzles – On The Meadow
I have just finished reading Nige Tassell’s excellent book Whatever Happened To The C86 Kids? The premise is that, after rediscovering the tape in his loft, the author tracks down one (or more) members of each band on the NME … Continue reading Whatever Happened To The C86 Kids?
The new double a-sided single from The Jeanines provides two short and sweet indiepop songs that clock in at ninety seconds each. The band’s retro inspired sound still manages to be distinctive, well they cannot fail to be otherwise given the voice of Alicia Jeanine, but can still send the old timers like me back to the 1980s and the days of fanzines and flexis.

Ah. This is good. Edinburgh’s Swiss Portrait have produced the best jangling single I have heard since Atmos Bloom’s Daisy earlier this year. In fact the two of them share much of the same DNA in how the song is … Continue reading Swiss Portrait – Hideout
Unusually for the month of August there have been some cracking singles released during the past few weeks. And most of them are here! They sit alongside a mix of album tracks, EP tracks & the odd reissue from a … Continue reading Records I Like Mix August 2022

That’s not a bad thing of course but, like The Reds, Pinks & Purples , it’s becoming harder to distinguish between each song because of the sheer volume. I should not complain I guess because they are quality fuzzy (disposable?) indiepop tunes but I am struggling to remember what the last single sounded like! Maybe that forthcoming retrospective on Subjangle will refresh my memory. I Can’t Imagine What You See In Him is … Continue reading The Photocopies – I Can’t Imagine What You See In Him
