Chaotic Pop Records is a new label hailing from Tangerang, Indonesia. Their tag line is “twee as fuck!, chaotic as p!o!p” and the label’s first two releases certainly encapsulates that. I am sure you are all bored with this old … Continue reading Chaotic Pop Records

Linköping’s The Slow Summits are one of the bands that I always look too for my dose of C86 inspired indiepop. The new single Oh Me Oh My is certainly no exception to that rule, as it invokes the Medway Scene to these ears, including The Dentists and The Claim. However, as I have previously mentioned, the band invoke the likes of the Brilliant Corners and Orange Juice. Of course if those names mean nothing to you (check them out yeah?) Oh Me Oh My is a lovely indiepop song characterised by a melodic combination of synths & guitars, lyrics … Continue reading The Slow Summits – Oh Me Oh My

The double sided Mundane is the new single from the Bandung based Lawrence & Kim. They have dispersed with the fuzziness found on their previous two releases. Given the last was almost three years ago, I suspect there may have been a line-up change. The songs are now driven fine programming and as much as I hate to say it, it’s hard not to draw comparisons with Sarah Records with yet another band from this Indonesian hotbed of indiepop. Even the cover art replicates the Sarah style. Think Another Sunny Day and The Field Mice and you will hear what … Continue reading Lawrence & Kim – Mundane
