Compilation Week – Fall 2017

Tom

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. However there is some interesting stuff here and this release serves as a great introduction to the label. 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

Compilation Week – Freakscene London 2014​/​2016

Tom

There are plenty of decent compilations to be had on Bandcamp at present and this week I will be rounding a few of them up. Freakscene London 2014​/​2016 compiles that label’s output for the years – well you guessed it – collated from their vinyl and flexi releases. There are tracks from the likes of Fever Dream, Tangible Excitement, The Sunny Street, The Yummy Four and many more. My personal highlight is Boyracer covering The Rosehips I Shouldn’t Have To Say. Available digitally although some of the original flexis and seven inches may still be available. Yours for a fiver … Continue reading Compilation Week – Freakscene London 2014​/​2016

Say Sue Me/Otoboke – Beaver Split 7″

Tom

I mentioned Say Sue Me’s wonderful track Good For Some Reason last month and at that point it was only available digitally. It’s now surfaced on a split 7″ release via Damnably and on the flip side is the very shouty Sil Vous Plait from Japanese punk poppers Otoboke Beaver which might catch you unaware if you have the headphones on. My ears are still ringing. The vinyl comes in either split pink & blue or split blue & transparent. Order from Damnably. Say Sue Me on Facebook Otoboke Beavers on Facebook Continue reading Say Sue Me/Otoboke – Beaver Split 7″

Briya – Lado A/Lado B

Tom

No Halloween nonsense from me today. Instead here are the first two releases (or both sides of just one?) from Argentinian band Britya. Regardless whether it’s just the one release or two all the tracks here encompass many of the ingredients that make up indiepop with twee, dream pop, noise pop and fuzzy guitar pop alongside healthy does of punk and riot grrrl. It’s on the latter, particularly Tiempo, that they shine to these ears and it’s further evidenced on the shouty Todo Me Enamora. It’s all good fun and Briya provide one of the best debut releases I have … Continue reading Briya – Lado A/Lado B

A third and final playlist for October which should see you through the week and into November. There is so much good stuff out there now I could not possibly write about them all so these playlists are great as they encapsulate what I found on bandcamp. Hopefully there will be something you like too. Enjoy! Continue reading Daze In The Sun – A Records I Like Playlist (October #3)

Like You Less – A Records I Like Playlist (September 2017 #1)

Tom

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!

Sometimes – A Records I Like Playlist (July 2017 #3)

Tom

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!
