Elenin – Massa Masa

Tom

I noticed yet another Indonesian label on bandcamp earlier this week in the shape of Dont Fade Away Records and have been making by way through the four releases currently available including Massa Masa by Elenin. Opener Kalam has shimmering guitars and female vocals to die for whilst the title track is a nosier alt rock effort that harks back to the noughties. However it is the closing track Technyancolor that clinches it for me with it’s noisy fuzzy guitars that gives Elenin a semblance of being an Indonesian version of Welsh rockers Melys. Get it from here. Continue reading Elenin – Massa Masa

yawyaw – yawyaw

Tom

When listening too I’m Relax I get the same adrenaline rush as I did when I first heard The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart. In fact the track could have come from the aforementioned band’s debut EP and it is fuzzy indiepop at it’s finest. The second track Kiss isn’t bad but barely starts before it’s over. Loads of promise here and it’s pop music for an ideal world. Out now on Supercrush Records. Continue reading yawyaw – yawyaw

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

Say Sue Me – Just Joking Around​/​B​-​Lover

Tom

Excellent double sided new single from Busan’s Say Sue Me. Just Joking Around is a slow burning ballad before suddenly exploding into a frenzy of guitar riffs. Plenty of Pavement and Pale Saint influences on this one. Flip side ​B​-​Lover on the other hand is a fuzzy C86 laden affair which sees the band returning to the sound that grabbed me in the first place. Say Sue Me show no signs of letting up whatsoever. Just Joking Around​/​B​-​Lover is available as limited edition vinyl plus the usual digital formats. Order it from here. Facebook Continue reading Say Sue Me – Just Joking Around​/​B​-​Lover
