Verano Del 83 – Tus Sueños Siempre Serán Los Míos

Tom

The new EP from the Peruvian band Verano Del 83 should certainly be a must have on any twee pop fan’s shopping list. Translated as Your Dreams Will Always Be Mine it features four dreamy indie pop songs which, despite me not understanding a word, sound remarkably happy and cheerful. The standout track for me is Mi Camino Mágico which sounds like a cover of a children’s TV programme theme, turned into an indiepop classic. Is it me or does in sound like the Banana Splits tune in places? It certainly gets me smiling and suggests that having fun is … Continue reading Verano Del 83 – Tus Sueños Siempre Serán Los Míos

No Suits in Miami – What We Have

Tom

Swedish indiepoppers No Suits in Miami debut album I Hope That No One Sees Me was one of the many highlights of last year and new track What We Have cements that status with aplomb. Strong female vocals soar above the guitars which, depending on your viewpoint, are either influenced by 1981 Glasgow or 1988 Bristol. The words deal with a relationship that hasn’t worked out as the jangling melody forces it’s way into your head. Super stuff whatever the outcome.

Terry vs. Tori – Psychic Reader

Tom

Psychic Reader (feat. David Alonso) is the latest single to be taken from the band’s forthcoming eponymous debut long play album. It’s another slice of the beautiful and gorgeous indie pop that the band have always delivered. There is no let up in quality as it jangles it’s way into your heart. However, given it’s the 6th single to be taken from the album I hope that it means that the album it’s on it’s way very (very!) soon. Psychic Reader is out now on El Genio Equivocado or you can buy it direct from the band who have a … Continue reading Terry vs. Tori – Psychic Reader

Everyday is Like Sunday

Tom

Texan shoegazers Eternal Something follow up last years Realm​//​Zone EP with new track Seagoats. It’s another one of those shoegaze tracks that are inspired by poetic imagination and my mind wandered vividly as it played. I could listen to ethereal tracks like this all day long – well until the cow’s Seagoats come home. Brighton’s Dreams Of Empire have released their first new material since last years Nothing’s Ever Finished debut album. I am not sure if I have ever heard a song that references both the Sparks and Plastic Bertrand before but Broken Dreams does just that as it tells … Continue reading Everyday is Like Sunday

Pash – Demonstration

Tom

Pash are a new band from down under, Sydney to be precise. The band centre around Jemimah and Jackson although the line up increases when they record or play live. Demonstration is their first release and their lo-fi, sometime shambling, indiepop is a delight. The label mention that “they could maybe be compared to Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Talulah Gosh” but I can hear influences earlier than that, especially those artists that bridged the gap between post-punk and indiepop. Amongst their peers I would say The Jeanines would be a good shout. Both tracks here have the same … Continue reading Pash – Demonstration

Parsnip – Adding Up

Tom

Parsnip will be releasing a new four track EP in May. Titled Adding Up it features four tracks and the band have made the title track available for streaming. It’s a lovely indiepop tune that still draws from 1960s girl bands for influences although it’s not so prominent here as on previous efforts. Dolly Mixture was another band that sprung to mind whilst I was listening to the track. In short it’s as catchy as ever. Adding Up will be available in limited 7″ vinyl (500 copies) and digital formats from Anti Fade whilst those in Japan should be able … Continue reading Parsnip – Adding Up

Even As We Speak – Someone

Tom

Even As We Speak have released the second single to be taken from the forthcoming album Adelphi that will be jointly released by Discos de Kirlian & Shelflife Records in June. Titled Someone the words & voice interlace with the hook laden keyboards and guitars resulting in a pretty strong sounding indiepop/spacepop hybrid. Shelflife write that the song is “one of our favorite tracks from the album” and it’s hard not to hear why.  It’s available digitally from Discos de Kirlian & Shelflife Records.
