Short Feelings – A Records I Like Playlist (September #2)

Tom

I have been struggling to listen to anything this past week or so but still have managed to cobble a second playlist from the month from the snippets I have managed to grab. Lots of stuff here and hopefully I can do them justice with a few words over the next week or two. In the meantime click on the image to start the playlist and , as ever (I hope!), enjoy. More playlists can be found here and the Playmoss page is here. Continue reading Short Feelings – A Records I Like Playlist (September #2)

September Round Up #3

Tom

Something Else – Don’t Want It Jangling guitar pop with post-punk overtones with a bit of pub-rock thrown in too. They have since released their debut album entitled An Entire Album About My Ex-Girlfriend which has been on heavy rotation recently. Facebook Theatre Royal – All Fall Forward/Better Say Goodbye Powerful guitar driven pop from Rochester, Kent linking the Medway sound and psychedelic pop of the 1960’s.

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

August Round Up #1

Tom

Value Void – Babeland Babeland is the second track to be taken from the forthcoming Sentimental album which is due for release next month. Unlike previous track Back in the Day which was a nod to the post-punk era Babeland is much more of a jangling affair and very effective it is too. Facebook Our Girl – I really Like It I have just realised that despite including them on a number of playlists I have yet to give Our Girl a written mention on the blog. Let’s rectify that now and mention their new album Stranger Today is due … Continue reading August Round Up #1

Snowflakes – Sway

Tom

On Sway Snowflakes pay homage to all things Sarah Records and I can certainly hear elements of The Wake and Another Sunny Day during the song and that is no bad thing. Flip side New Soul is not so twee and if I had to draw a comparison the Lightning Seeds spring to mind. Despite being around since 2003 this is the first I have heard from this Japanese outfit who luckily for me have their entire discography available on Bandcamp for a bargain price! I suggest you dive in too…. Homepage Continue reading Snowflakes – Sway

Wake In June – Jejune/DP​/​DR

Tom

Wake In June is 20 year old Italian based Enrico Pastore. These two tracks are taken from the forthcoming 1998 EP consisting of jangling guitars and laid back vocals. I can only describe them both as blissful, dreamy indiepop indiepop to erm,chill out too! It’s promising stuff and enough to make me take a listen to the two releases that were released earlier this year. EDIT: The whole EP can be previewed on Soundcloud. Continue reading Wake In June – Jejune/DP​/​DR

Gizpel – No Surrender

Tom

Judging by their band photo Gizpel not only have a love of English football but the UK post punk scene too. Unlike many of their peers who pay homage to all things Sarah Records Gizpel’s music veers towards the early 1980’s indiepop sounds that was found on labels such as Rough Trade, Cherry Red, Factory et al. The likes of The Wake and The Monochrome Set certainly spring to my mind on the first listens. Grab it from here. Facebook Continue reading Gizpel – No Surrender
