Tom

I think this final post of the week finally sees me catching up with my bandcamp bookmarks, well the stuff I liked, for now. Lightfoils – Summer Nights (radio edit) An absolute belter of a shoegazing track. Dreamy and ethereal. Just the way I like ’em. I cannot really say any more so press play now! Edit: A longer 8 minute version can be found on the just released Chambers EP. Facebook Death of Heather – I Can Tell Bangkok’s Death of Heather build upon the promise of their July demos delivering a lovely polished dreampop effort that will be … Continue reading Give, Give, Give Me More, More, More…..

The Catherines – She Has a Knack for Seeing Other People’s Faults

Tom

Regular readers may have noted I have a love hate relationship with The Catherines. Take their last two releases prior to this. How Come You Think Everybody Likes You? is a fuzzy pop tune that took from Primal Scream’s Velocity Girl and much more besides. It was great. That contrasted to Why Are You Always So Sarcastic​.​.​. You Prick? which was dire and tuneless. It was the sound of The Smiths without the wit. And now onto She Has a Knack for Seeing Other People’s Faults which thankfully errs on the side of the former. The Catherines will be the … Continue reading The Catherines – She Has a Knack for Seeing Other People’s Faults

September Round Up #3

September Round Up #2

Tom

Рыцарь Диких Яблок – Дворец Not sure I am trusting google translate here but the band and recording translate as Palace by Knight of Wild Apples. What I do know is that this is a very fine indiepop EP indeed. Forget the fact this Saint Peterburg based band sing in their native Russian (and why not) and let the music and harmonies do the translating for you. Class. Grab it for free/pay what you want from here. Homepage Ping Pong Club – Sklylight Talking about classy indiepop here is another fine effort from Bandung’s Ping Pong Club that just shines … Continue reading September Round Up #2
