Various Artists – Alternative Melodies 8

Tom

This may be the eighth volume in the alternative melodies series collated by A Lonely Ghost Burning but it’s the first one I have stumbled upon. With the aim of “introducing new listeners to the underexposed and immensely talented artists” it features the likes of Fanclub and Soumbalgwang both of which have been featured on these pages before.

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. However, given that this is a rework of a Wake In June demo that should be no surprise. Space Cadet is a dreamy, jangling pop song with the addition of synths, whistling and echoing background vocals demonstrating how good DIY bedroom pop can … Continue reading Wake In June (feat Reason Light) – Space Cadet
