Closer Preys – Betrayed EP

Tom

The Betrayed EP is the debut release from 19 year old Seoul based (and self confessed music nerd) Minjun Kang aka Closer Preys. Musically this DIY bedroom project moves between dream, indie and twee pop. There are some interesting ideas and noises here none more so on Distant Friends with it’s hushed vocals and chiming guitar sound. The wonderfully named I Tried To Swim Across The Ocean picks up the pace adding some noise and layers to the aforementioned guitars whilst Dark Room has that echoing, DIY bedroom pop sound. Promising! Continue reading Closer Preys – Betrayed EP

Five Card Shuffle

Tom

A round up of sorts! Jetstream Pony have recently released a new track in the shape of Yellow Pills. Not sure the of the history of this one aside that it was recorded last Autumn but it’s a fine fuzzy pop song none the less. Crank it up. London label Damnably are releasing a compilation of Grrrl Gang’s work to date on vinyl and the solid lilac edition looks very nice indeed. Called Here To Stay it features nine tracks including two versions of the everlasting fave Dream Grrrl. Pre-order it from here. The Memory Fades posted a new demo … Continue reading Five Card Shuffle

Nah… – Perfect Game

Tom

Nah… the joint Dutch/German indiepop band have released a new single and boy, do they start the new year in some style. Taking their cues from the Glasgow School Perfect Game, a song about love and darts, features jangling guitars in the style of postcard records whilst the vocals err on the side of Edwyn Collins. It features lovely cover art too featuring 1970’s icon Sally Thomsett. 180! Facebook Continue reading Nah… – Perfect Game

Brunch Club – Another Wasted Summer

Tom

Edmonton’s Brunch Club are the purveyors of short but catchy jangling pop tunes and there is no exception to this rule on their first release for well over two years. They open with the addictive Dandelion Dreams which may well make all those who have already published their best of 2019 lists weep. It’s pretty much a near perfect pop song. It’s followed by short and appealing songs that flit from indiepop to power pop. The jangling guitars and the vocals will draw you in and before you know it all eight songs have been and gone. Bike Riding and … Continue reading Brunch Club – Another Wasted Summer
