The Sundries are an indiepop outfit from my current manor, South East London. They write that they are inspired by the likes of Belle & Sebastian and Allo Darlin’, being together for a few years now. I believe that the Magic Johnson EP is their debut outing. It certainly is their first release as a full band. Listening to the EP that latter influence is certainly true. The tracks err on the indie folk side of things but have too many ukuleles in for liking, reminding me of the days when every band and their dog had one. Mind you, … Continue reading The Sundries – Magic Johnson EP

Australian indiepop outfit Egoism have a new single out. Titled You You it’s about “someone in my life causing me a lot of pain and I wrote this when I was finally trying to get away”. Despite the pain it’s catchy and, empathy aside, I wish some break ups in my life had been as tuneful as this. Get it from here. Bedroom Poppers Wake In June released a new song last week. It’s called Light Phaser and it’s full of those melodies and hooks we have learnt to enjoy so well. There are also some new swirling noises thrown … Continue reading Midweek Catch Up
Well a bit later than usual but finally here is the mix for February 2020 featuring tracks released in the past month or so – some a bit longer. 60 minutes of listening pleasure! Details and full tracklisting: Golden Teardrops – I Won’t Be Fooled Again Is that a bit of floor stompin’ northern soul I can hear creeping into to their brand of baroque/sunshine pop? I think it is you know! The Lousy Pop Group – Days It’s a gentle, wistful track that harks back to 1980s indiepop/twee and which fades away far too soon. Wild Nothing – Blue … Continue reading Records I Like Mix February 2020

A catch up of stuff caught on the Records I Like Radar. The Radio Dept. have released a new single. Titled The Absence of Birds it’s backed with a remix of the same song. The former is a wispy indiepop song with folk-ish overtones whilst the latter mixes ambient with drone. You can get it from here. Diet Cig released a new track at the end of last month. Titled Night Terrors it’s a fine example of alternative pop with scary lyrics to match – boo! You can get it from here. Medway Scene veterans The Claim have a new … Continue reading Midweek Catch Up #1 – Indiepop &c
At the time of their last release, that being the excellent Uhm Yeah Sure EP, Stoop Kid was the project of one Jens Reubens. On this brand new EP it still is but now Reubens has formed a full band that will start to play gigs later this year. Anyway update over let’s return to the EP. The EP opens with the catchy Thought This Was The Uniform which gives way to the initially slower Done Deal. After opening with some chiming guitars with vocals to match the song picks up speed with jangling guitars kicking in for a minute … Continue reading Stoop Kid – Nothing At All
