Now That’s What I Call Compilations…..

Tom

Today’s round up features compilations that may, or may not, grab your ears and attention….. Goodbye Idiots II A compilation put together to celebrate Mexican label Stupid Decisions second birthday.

Singles Going Steady……

Tom

Another round up of singles and EP’s for your listening pleasure…… Blushing – The Truth / Sunshine The first single to be taken from dreampoppers Blushing’s debut album due for release early next year. The flip side Sunshine is a shimmering delight in the way Lush sounded when they first emerged many moons ago. Get your vinyl copy of the single from here. Facebook The Hannah Barberas – No Mystery EP Another fine EP from the fans of Jessica Fletcher. It’s more consistent than the debut EP and I really like the Throwing Muses like Spellbound. The EP is currently … Continue reading Singles Going Steady……

Tom

Rounding up some new tracks that have been released over the past few weeks or two… The Golden Rail – Don’t Let Go Of The Light The first single taken from a yet unnamed second album due for release next year.

Facebook Fanclub – Reflection More from Texas but this time a slice of twee inspired indiepop. Facebook Fawns of Love – Mournful Eyes The … Continue reading One Track Wonders…..

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
