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. Continue reading Earache – Voices/Parasite

Fascinations Grand Chorus – Until I Found You

Tom

Continuing this weekends incidental 1960’s influenced theme today we have New Yorkers Fascinations Grand Chorus delivering their polished and effective brand of retro pop music. Thanks, mainly to singer Stephanie’s voice, you can take your pick and compare the band to any number of girl bands as you like. Grand by name and grand by nature. Facebook Continue reading Fascinations Grand Chorus – Until I Found You

Candy – Apartment In The City

Tom

Melbourne’s Candy is one Calum Newton (ex Lunatics on Pogosticks and Amyl and the Sniffers). Newton’s music first caught my ear with the lovely Azure and his forthcoming album Under The Weather is about his struggles during a period of homelessness last year. There have been four “singles” taken from the album so far and Apartment In The City is my pick of the bunch. Despite it’s sombre tone the music, a mix between bedroom and dream pop, gives the song a tranquil feel with Newton’s vocals and lyrics being clearly noticeable throughout. The aforementioned album is out on November … Continue reading Candy – Apartment In The City

Tallies – Mother

Tom

This track came out as a single back in May but I can finally give it a plug as it’s going to be on the forthcoming debut album. Starting like a northern soul floor stomper it soon morphs into alt rock – think Belly or Throwing Muses and singer Sarah Cogan’s vocals are on a par with the singers in both those bands. There is also some lovely jangling indiepop guitars throughout the song giving another angle which you will soon become entwined in. What’s not too like? The album, also called Tallies, will be out early next year on … Continue reading Tallies – Mother
