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.
Fusing indiepop and shoegaze together Malmo’s We. the Pigs make a lovely tuneful racket. This is their second EP and picks up right where the first left off. Noisy but blissful and shimmering guitars bounce off the vocals causing the listener to sway with gay abandon. And if Too Young is not floating around your top 10 tracks of 2017 come December then you must be listening you the wrong thing. Or I am! Available on 7″ vinyl or digital formats from Discos De Kirlian. Facebook Soundcloud Continue reading We. the Pigs – EP2
The latest playlist covers shoegaze, indiepop, garage and dreampop. Enjoy! Continue reading Lost In Your Gaze – A Records I Like Playlist (July 2017 #2)
Upbeat, catchy and totally fun indiepop from Tokyo’s Cattle on their second EP. I just don’t get the label’s shoegaze or dream pop references as this EP sounds like good old fashioned indiepop. I would go as far as saying it sounds like Strawberry Story to these ears right down to the singer’s vocals. And that’s including the cover of Ride’s Twisterella. Maybe Cattle’s Made of Stone moment? Anyway there are five tracks here and it’s Within Your Reach that is the EP’s standout moment for me. It’s noisy pop perfection. Cattle? They are clamming for it……….. Out now on … Continue reading Cattle – Slow Sailor EP
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)
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)
Clear Fizzy Things (surely Clear FUZZY Things thanks to the guitars) consists of four noisy tracks with only one making it over the two-minute mark – just! Mixing garage, indie and a lo-fi DIY attitude these punk-pop tracks certainly make an impression over their six and a bit minutes thanks to the aforementioned guitars, driving drums and the excellent vocals. Me like…… Available on cassette from Dadstache Records or digitally on a pay what you want basis from the band. Facebook Continue reading Wedding Camp – Clear Fizzy Things
Coming quickly on the heels of previous single Red Roses Cherry is one and a half minutes of noise pop that sounds remarkably like a Lazy era My Bloody Valentine – think Never Say Goodbye for one. Regardless of whether this is intentional or not it’s an absolute delight. Pure cherry pop! Continue reading Red Rosie – Cherry
