La Casa De Emma – Refugio Invernal EP

Tom

Well after being struck down with an ear infection since the weekend the first thing I have listened to all week is the new EP from Chilean band La Casa De Emma and it’s their first release proper following from the demos released earlier this year. Four of the five songs here don’t top the 105 seconds mark being fast, frantic and damn good. It’s on the final and longest song Skolniks where the band excel mind. It sounds like a long long classic from the C86 era and even at 3m.15s it’s way too short as the vocalist sings … Continue reading La Casa De Emma – Refugio Invernal EP

Tom

I think this final post of the week finally sees me catching up with my bandcamp bookmarks, well the stuff I liked, for now. Lightfoils – Summer Nights (radio edit) An absolute belter of a shoegazing track. Dreamy and ethereal. Just the way I like ’em. I cannot really say any more so press play now! Edit: A longer 8 minute version can be found on the just released Chambers EP. Facebook Death of Heather – I Can Tell Bangkok’s Death of Heather build upon the promise of their July demos delivering a lovely polished dreampop effort that will be … Continue reading Give, Give, Give Me More, More, More…..

Singles Going Steady……

Tom

Another round up of singles and EP’s for your listening pleasure…… Blushing – The Truth / Sunshine The first single to be taken from dreampoppers Blushing’s debut album due for release early next year. The flip side Sunshine is a shimmering delight in the way Lush sounded when they first emerged many moons ago. Get your vinyl copy of the single from here. Facebook The Hannah Barberas – No Mystery EP Another fine EP from the fans of Jessica Fletcher. It’s more consistent than the debut EP and I really like the Throwing Muses like Spellbound. The EP is currently … Continue reading Singles Going Steady……

yawyaw – yawyaw

Tom

When listening too I’m Relax I get the same adrenaline rush as I did when I first heard The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. In fact the track could have come from the aforementioned band’s debut EP and it is fuzzy indiepop at it’s finest. The second track Kiss isn’t bad but barely starts before it’s over. Loads of promise here and it’s pop music for an ideal world. Out now on Supercrush Records. Continue reading yawyaw – yawyaw

Earache – Voices/Parasite

Tom

Earache hail from down under and is the project of Gemma Nourse (No Stars, Shopgirl) and David Fenderson (Territory, Sob Story, Cure). This, their debut release, features two slices of dreamy indiepop with more than a hint of shoegazing about it’s person and lovely boy/girl vocals to the boot too. The debut album Last follows soon. Meanwhile head over to Lacklustre Records to get this excellent double header on cassette or digital formats. It’s also available digitally from Black Wire Records.
