Something For The Weekend? Three I Haven’t Reviewed!

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

I was going to start this post with a tribute to Alex Taylor of The Shop Assistants & The Motorcycle Boy but Roque wrote some very nice words so head over to Cloudberry to read what he has to say. Suffice to say it’s very sad and belated condolences to her family and everyone who … Continue reading →

Huan Huan – I’d Better Be on Time

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

The new single from Taiwan’s Huan Huan is somewhat different from their last single Charlie. I described that one as an instant shoegaze classic but that description is in complete contrast to I’d Better Be on Time which is a gentle, folk-ish tinged ballad. The band write that they are “hoping to comfort hearts filled … Continue reading →

Mirrorlakes – Faded Town

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ 1 Comment

Jakarta’s Mirrorlakes follow up last year’s excellent Three Songs EP with new song Faded Town.

To be fair it sounds like both bands who play at the folkier end of indiepop and Whittle’s vocals, of which I am a strong fan, make songs … Continue reading →

It’s going to be a bit silent around here for the next couple of weeks whilst I am away but that doesn’t mean that there will be nothing left to listen too judging by this round up post which features some music I have meaning to mention separately but time etc. First up is The … Continue reading →

Lost Pets – Lost Pets EP

Posted by ⋅ ⋅ Leave a comment

Nottingham’s Lost Pets have just released their debut self titled EP. The lo-fi folk songs here lead on from last years demos retaining the melancholic feel and that’s a good thing. Six tracks to immerse and lose yourself in with Richard Loves Doris and the almost upbeat Discount Sushi being the pick of the bunch. … Continue reading →
