It’s been a strange month both inside and outside of work so I have not had the time to post as much as I would have liked. So here is the first of two playlists that I will post this weekend covering indiepop, shoegaze, dream pop and alt-rock. Enjoy. Continue reading We’re Doing Fine – A Records I Like Playlist (September #2)
Well we are well into the month so it’s about time for a playlist rounding up the various tracks that have been catching my ear via the usual places. That’s not when I have been listening to the new album, The Punishment of Luxury, from Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark which is surprisingly very good. I have also been catching up with 2013’s English Electric which is even better. Back to the playlist which features some excellent tracks from the likes of Jetstream Pony, Tough Age, Glass Arcades, Closure and many more! Continue reading Like You Less – A Records I Like Playlist (September 2017 #1)
Well here is the first and most probably last playlist for August. To be honest is a sort of shopping list of all the tracks that I missed whilst I was on me hols. Again the usual mixture of indiepop, shoegaze and alt rock. Enjoy! Continue reading Violet – A Records I Like Playlist (August 2017 #1)
A playlist covering the latest in indiepop, shoegaze, dreampop, riot grrl, garage and more. Plenty to listen out for here. The latest demo by Jetstream Pony is sublime and I purchased everything by Hiki based on hearing Closer for the first time. Honeyrude are new to me as well and their track The Color Blue has been a regular play this month alongside Alvvays and The Autumn Sighs. Enjoy! Continue reading Sometimes – A Records I Like Playlist (July 2017 #3)
This week’s pack of three features three compilations that should keep you busy for this weekend and the next few come to think of it! Ghost Babes Compilation Vol.3 London based cassette label Ghost Babe Records are now onto their third compilation featuring just American bands whether they play garage, slacker rock or punk. Not heard of most of these except for the excellent Wedding Camp but already I am going to dig into the back catalogues of Lost Boy? (try searching that name on Bandcamp!) and Thick. It seems that when the cassettes are sold out the digital version … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three Compilations.
The latest playlist covers shoegaze, indiepop, garage and dreampop. Enjoy! Continue reading Lost In Your Gaze – A Records I Like Playlist (July 2017 #2)
Starting this month as we finished the last. Here is another playlist for you to check out. I am particularity fond of the Cattle, Sea Blite, The Sweetest Touch and Battery Point tracks. Still no fillers here or it just be comprised of those four tracks! Continue reading Within Your Reach – A Records I Like Playlist (July 2017 #1)
Those purveyors of indiepop, Matinee Recordings, celebrate their 20th anniversary by releasing Matinee Idols a compilation featuring both new and established bands on their roster from the States, the UK, Europe and down under. It’s full to the brim of indiepop songs whether guitar or synth driven. There are some great tracks here such as new signings Tinsel Heart with Talk, Last Leaves, who feature ex members of The Lucksmiths with Something Falls, Seabirds who contribute Independent Horses and Game Plan by The Hermit Crabs. Mind you there is not a dull moment here and the highlight for me though … Continue reading Various Artists – Matinee Idols
I think I may have solved the problem of embedded playlists (wordpress.com does not support iframe) but with two steps instead of one. A tip on the wordpress.com support boards got me thinking about having a clickable image which brings up a pop-up player. So there you have it and this is a good post as any to try it out so without further ado here is a mix featuring of tracks previously mentioned or soon to be mentioned on this site. It covers a mix of indiepop, post-punk, shoegaze, garage and jangle pop. Enjoy! Alternatively head over to our … Continue reading Not The One – A Records I Like Playlist (June 2017 #2)
This week’s pack of three features three recent melodic indiepop releases. The Golden Rail – Oh My! The Golden Rail are a new band but there is pedigree in their ranks as band members have been involved with the likes of The Palisades and The Rainyard amongst others. Oh My! is the first single to be taken from the forthcoming album Electric Trails From Nowhere. And what a catchy single it is too, ticking all the right boxes along the way. Jangling indiepop at it’s finest. Available in CD and digital formats from here. Facebook Tomiji – Tomiji EP Tomiji … Continue reading Something For The Weekend? Three New Indiepop Releases
