Sometimes….

Tom

Just mentioning one band a day or every other day isn’t enough especially with how much I listen to and the way I tend to witter on. Oh well. Luckily I can work with my headphones on so here is a midweek three pack! Pia Fraus – Sweet Sunday Snow The veteran Estonian shoegazers return with a new single that is bundled with three remixes and is also a taster for their forthcoming sixth album. The single edit is a shimmering laid back track which will soon have you wandering through dreamland. Listening to The Picnic remix I wonder if … Continue reading Sometimes….

Tvärtom – Tvärtom

Tom

The self titled debut EP from Finland’s Tvärtom features four jangling indiepop songs that sound like they could have been recorded in another era. The guitars chime throughout and the deadpan male vocals are beautifully supplemented by some fine female backing vocals none more so on Kadun Humina. They sound like they have taken the best elements of the various bands on Sarah Records and fused them together. There is something very Field Mice like about Lätäköt which is utterly charming. A very impressive debut. More please ASAP! Continue reading Tvärtom – Tvärtom

Univers – Matèria Corrupta

Tom

The new single from the Catalan Wedding Present (my words, not theirs!) features two tracks that were part of the sessions for 2016s Limit Constant album which were, until now, unreleased. They are backed with remixes of both tracks. Joventuts Unides is a full frontal assault consisting of noisy, jangling guitars and deadpan vocals. L’Home i L’espasa is is a melodic indiepop song which ends with a fine jangling burst with the words reaching anthem like proportions. All of which makes me wonder why neither song made the album cut given they are as good or even better as some … Continue reading Univers – Matèria Corrupta

Río Arga – Río Arga

Tom

Río Arga is the third self titled release from this Pamplona based band and this volume is crammed chock full of infectious indiepop songs. Straight from the off with Tus Canciones the band deliver one jangling pop tune after another. I have no idea what they are singing about as I have long given up on google translate but I have no doubt that these songs would sound great whatever language they were sung in. Tracks like No Me Aguanto Más (a speeded up Stereolab?) and the atmospheric La Javierada are some of the strongest tracks the indiepop genre has … Continue reading Río Arga – Río Arga

Atta Girl – 九月​(​September​)​/​错过​(​Regret)

Tom

The Chinese two piece Atta Girl (there is more than one band with that name!) return with a new single. The last we heard from them was back in 2017 with their Everyone Loves You When You Were Still A Kid album and the new single is a natural progression from where the aforementioned album left off. Both songs here sound much fuller and more rounded, bringing that bedroom pop sound out into the open. It’s September that grabs my attention with it’s mix of indiepop and shoegaze as it jangles it’s way through the maze of melodic guitars heading … Continue reading Atta Girl – 九月​(​September​)​/​错过​(​Regret)
