Linda Guilala – Agosto

Tom

Spanish outfit and long time Records I Like faves Linda Guilala release the second in their limited edition vinyl single releases which are spread across various labels in 2019. Following up their recent single for London’s Sonic Catherdral Agosto will be released on German label Dreams Never Ends Records and consists of two previously unreleased tracks. Both tracks are darker than what we normally expect from the band, erring towards post-punk rather than indiepop but showcase the bands versatility. It’s the moody flipside Salga Bien that gets my vote reminding me of a gloomy Joy Division inspired Stereolab! Order the … Continue reading Linda Guilala – Agosto

Layuchi Kvity – Белый порошок

Tom

Белый порошок (White Powder) is the second single to be taken from the forthcoming new album by Layuchi Kvity. Where as previous single >Девушка Которую Зовут Тишина (Girl Named Silence) was an excellent spin on shoegazing Белый порошок is a blast mixing noise pop, alt-rock and punk. No idea what they are singing about (and I can make a guess given the translated title) but the words have a call to arms, anthem like feel about them. Bouyant stuff – play extremely loud!!!

Sugar World – Sad in Heaven

Tom

Here’s one that’s been pretty much on repeat all day. Sad in Heaven is one of those fuzzy indiepop tracks that will penetrate your brain given the number of hooks and earworms it contains. Despite the maudlin words the song just buzzes around incessantly even after it ends. I have no idea who San Diego’s Sugar World are or why they are so glum but keep this up and it will be good while it lasts. Marvellous. Facebook Continue reading Sugar World – Sad in Heaven

August Round Up #1

Tom

I have been ploughing through my inbox following a week away. Here are some of the best. Well Whale – She’s a Punk She’s a Punk is the debut single from Indonesian band Well Whale. Jangly and twee and no punk chords in sight. A fun indie-pop tune. Instagram Ruby Haunt – Jeune Jeune is the second single to be taken from the forthcoming album The Middle of Nowhere which is due for release at the end of the month. Reminds me of the indiepop bands Heavenly used to put out many moons ago. Mesmerising and heartfelt. Facebook Charivari – … Continue reading August Round Up #1

Reflector (Madrid) – Canciones Para Un Ferragosto

Tom

One man band Reflector have been making music since 2002 (take a glance at that back catalogue) and I stumbled on them (him?) by chance during a bandcamp search. Being a fan of Blade Runner the title of the song El día que murió Rutger Hauer stood out for me. Like the others on this EP the song, The Day Rutger Hauer Died when translated, is catchy lo-fi guitar driven indiepop that musically pays homage to days gone by. The songs are tuneful and the voice is the catchiest deadpan vocal I have heard for a long time. As the … Continue reading Reflector (Madrid) – Canciones Para Un Ferragosto

The Records I Like Mix July 2019

Tom

A new mix compiling tracks from the past month or so. Plenty of C86 influenced music this time alongside the usual mix of shoegaze, janglepop and alt-rock. Full Tracklisting: Death Of Heather – Mind It’s a song that features slow simmering guitars that echo profoundly alongside hushed vocals which sing of someone who isn’t out of mind but yet isn’t here or there. The Proctors – Letters To The Girl And what a belter we have on our hands, well ears! Jangling guitars, catchy boy/girl vocals and a melody to die for. Holy Now – It Will All End In Tears … Continue reading The Records I Like Mix July 2019

Sicayda – Sown

Tom

I mentioned Go On by Sicayda towards the end of last month. The band have now released the full EP that Go On was taken from in the shape of Sown. It features five tracks which err on the noisier side of alt-rock/shoegaze. The songs are varied by pace which works and blends well across the whole EP. For example Struggle Bug is a full on noise “fest” but then I am caught off guard by the melodic, gentle ending. Two’s is short and rocky and closer Asleep is a predominately instrumental slow burner which builds up until it’s flame … Continue reading Sicayda – Sown
