Pigments – Nothing at All

If imaginative dreampop is your thing then this EP from Oklahoma’s Pigments should be right up your street. Featuring four tracks that invokes the spirit of The Cranes, The Sundays and Faith Over Reason the songs are hazy, haunting & ethereal. The folkish vocal style suits the melodic and delicate guitars. It’s one of those releases where if you close your eyes you will lifted off to another plane. Probably! Continue reading Pigments – Nothing at All

Asimov – Evasión

Asimov come from Guatemala and Evasión is their second track/single – I somehow missed the first. Their music is a blend between post-rock, dreampop and shoegaze. The guitars are in an inquisitive mood and just as I start to think that Evasión will remain an instrumental some faint vocals can be heard before they disappear once more into the melodic, explorative guitars. Interesting! Continue reading Asimov – Evasión

Wake In June (feat Reason Light) – Space Cadet

Padua based Wake In June (Enrico Pastore) have teamed up with Malaga’s Reason Light (Manè Lòpez) in a show of European unity. Well that of the indiepop kind that is! With both on writing duties I expected the song to veer between both artists musical styles but it actually sounds more like a Wake In June Track.

August Round Up #1

I have been ploughing through my inbox following a week away. Here are some of the best. Well Whale – She’s a Punk She’s a Punk is the debut single from Indonesian band Well Whale. Jangly and twee and no punk chords in sight. A fun indie-pop tune. Instagram Ruby Haunt – Jeune Jeune is the second single to be taken from the forthcoming album The Middle of Nowhere which is due for release at the end of the month. Reminds me of the indiepop bands Heavenly used to put out many moons ago. Mesmerising and heartfelt. Facebook Charivari – … Continue reading August Round Up #1
