UK Indiepop 2019

Tom

The UK indiepop revival that peaked a few years backed seem to have died out so I asked this question on Twitter the other day and it sparked a lot of chat and replies. Thanks to everyone who was involved. A number of the replies mentioned bands featured on this blog in the past whilst there were a lot of names that were new to me. I am not sure that some of the former met the criteria but as indiepop has a pretty wide ranging sound it seems to be a good idea to include them. So, with all … Continue reading UK Indiepop 2019

Wake In June – OBE // OBE

Tom

Italian one man indiepop/bedroom pop band, and regulars on the stereo at Records I Like, Wake In June have a new single out. Entitled OBE // OBE it’s an indiepop track that features the now trademark jangling guitar sound which leads from the front relegating the obscured vocals to the back. The lyrics are a puzzle just like the gaming theme that runs through the song. Insert more coins now ……. Instagram Continue reading Wake In June – OBE // OBE

The Epigones – The Epigones

Tom

Inspired musically (and in the artwork too) by British post-punk bands such as Echo & The Bunnymen, The Sound and The Chameleons to name but a few the self titled debut from Ontario’s The Epigones is a mandatory listen. The songs highlight and showcase the incredibly strong vocals and the band’s guitar based sound. The way these come together both structurally and melodically is impressive to say the least. Just check these songs out and the way the guitars jangle themselves senseless on First Sunday of Your Vacation is particularity astounding to these ears. Anyone wanna buy a bridge?

Something For The Weekend? Three Albums

Tom

This weeks pack of three consists of three albums on my shopping list. Últim Cavall – Alaska This one has me hooked straight from the off. Literally straight from the opening bars of first track Els llacs which blends seamlessly into Incendi and then into current favourite Tornar A Casa it’s a dreamy journey throughout. It’s a case of not looking back and before you know it you reach the gentle vibes of the closing track Totes Les Flors. Alaska is an indiepop/dreampop album you can fully immerse yourself in and just let go. Divine. Alaska is available on vinyl … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three Albums

Soumbalgwang – Gwangan Surf

Tom

The new single from Busan’s Soumbalgwang clocks in at just over a minute. Like their city mates Say Sue Me, Soumbalgwang like mixing up their music with rock and roll influences and the title of this one gives it away. Gwangan Surf is very catchy from the off – the jangling guitars and punchy vocals see to that and given this singles length they have to be. I am not sure it’s their Velocity Girl moment just yet but it’s a start. Facebook Continue reading Soumbalgwang – Gwangan Surf

Well Whale – Pipe Dream

Tom

Indonesian band Well Whale return with a new single, following up their debut single She’s A Punk. To be honest the progress between the two singles is astounding. Reminding me of acts on Creation Records the band present a more developed sound with some excellent jangling guitars whilst the vocals sound fuller, being more rounded. And plenty of la, la, la, la’s too…. A cracking track regardless of how you look (hear?) it! Instagram Continue reading Well Whale – Pipe Dream

Full Power Happy Hour – The Fun EP

Tom

The wonderfully named Full Power Happy Hour are a new band comprised of veterans of the Brisbane music scene. After forming last year The Fun EP is the band’s debut release. Opening with the folky Complicit, which reminds me of the music Scotland’s Hermit Crabs used to make, the EP moves onto a more jangling direction. The folk influences can still heard throughout the remainder of the EP thanks to the melody and vocals. Fun sounds just like it’s title suggests whilst the final track Endless Summer, which is my pick of the bunch, is about Brisbane’s humid weather which … Continue reading Full Power Happy Hour – The Fun EP
