Various – Chrimbo With You

Tom

Emotional Response have certainly had a busy end of year. They have now released a Christmas Compilation which features contributions from label owners Stewart & Jen under a variety of guises as well as contributions from their mates. It’s a mix of the usual seasonal nonsense that these compilations generally bring but it has a large fun element too especially on the contributions from Summer Cats, Department Engineering Help Desk and Enemy Anemone. Out now for peanuts on cassette or digital formats. It’s only available until Christmas day. Homepage Continue reading Various – Chrimbo With You

Enemy Anemone / Cougar Vox- Split Single

Tom

Another day and another great release on Emotional Response courtesy of this fine split single. Enemy Anemone is Jen Turrell (Boyracer) who delivers three slabs of post punk inspired pop songs with the longest running in a 1m28s. Making slightly longer tunes is Australian band Cougar Vox who deliver the EP’s finest moment on the pop punk joy that is Cragieburn, a moment that should inspire you to jump up and down such is it’s infectiousness. The EP finishes with another punk/riot grrrl inspired effort from the latter that will certainly have me seeking out more of their work. Out … Continue reading Enemy Anemone / Cougar Vox- Split Single

Linton And Stewart / The Aislers Set

Tom

These are the first released recordings by Amy Linton, she of Henry’s Dress and The Aislers Set, since the latter’s farewell in 2003. On these recordings she is joined by Stewart Anderson (Boyracer). Unsurprisingly the two new tracks here, Looking For A Stranger On The Shore and Pigeons (download version only), sound like a fusion of both bands but given the musical history on show here that is hardly a bad thing. The single also features a mellow unreleased track, Big Ocean, Linton recorded as The Aislers set in 2008. Welcome back! It’s out now via Emotional Rescue on 7″ … Continue reading Linton And Stewart / The Aislers Set

Jessica & The Fletchers – Connecting People

Tom

Barcelona’s Jessica & The Fletchers have just released their debut album. Entitled Connecting People it’s chock fall of noisy and fun pop tunes that hark back to years gone by especially the fuzzier side of the C86 era. So much so they should have released it on a flexi disc. Connecting People is limited to just 100 CD copies (it’s begging for a vinyl release) on the Discos De Kirlian label. Get it from here or digitally from the band or label. Facebook Continue reading Jessica & The Fletchers – Connecting People

Pinkshinyultrablast – Kiddy Pool Dreams

Tom

Spanking new single from Russian experimental shoegazers Pinkshinyultrablast. It’s backed with a version on the flip and is out on Club AC30 on October 2nd. Sadly the limited edition vinyl has sold out but you will be able to get it in digital formats via the usual places. The band start their UK tour tomorrow (Friday 25th Sept)  and I can vouch that they are well worth catching. Facebook Continue reading Pinkshinyultrablast – Kiddy Pool Dreams

Sans Néant – Astral / Leaves / Behind

Tom

Excellent stuff from Finland. Experimental meets shoegaze, indiepop and noisepop amongst others . There is plenty of stuff on the bandcamp page to download for nowt but this latest release is the best work so far especially on opening track Astrals (Collide) which sounds like a mashup between The Jesus and Mary Chain and My Bloody Valentine. Final track Uphill Shadows is also worth a listen venturing into Aphex Twin territory circa the Richard D. James album period. Nice! Continue reading Sans Néant – Astral / Leaves / Behind
