Wonderful, jangling indiepop from a band who took their name from a Feelies song. Not much info about the band, song or other tracks aside from the following snippet “This tune is going to be released during spring ’18 in a 7″ record.”. Wonderful stuff and roll on that 7″ single. Continue reading The Boys With The Perpetual Nervousness – Nervous Man

Continuing with the series of round ups. Underwater Obstacles – Meet Me I have really been enjoying Underwater Obstacles morose offerings of late. Meet Me is the latest track and is a great alternative gothic song. An album entitled Ghosts Of Trees is forthcoming. Wintermilk – Sonnik Ethereal shoegaze from Russia. The band have released a few songs to date but this is the first sung in their native language. Sonnik, or Dream Book in English, reminds me of The Cranes mixing it up with The Sundays and is not too dissimilar to some of Ummagma’s recent work. Lovely stuff. … Continue reading Ending 2017 #2

Technically it’s still Autumn so I think I can get away with this one! Fall 2017 is the latest compilation from Slovakian tape label Z Tapes. I am not going to kid you and aside from Soft Pastels I have not heard of any of the other 26 bands featured.

Stand out tracks include efforts from the likes of Leor Miller, Candy and Memoryville and the compilation covers bedroom pop, DIY, indiepop and lo-fi pop mixtape. Available on cassette from here or … Continue reading Compilation Week – Fall 2017
