The Lodger – Bewildered The Lodger do their usual indiepop thing over a tale of clueless lovers. Some nice piano and organ give the song a lush, cinematic feel. The Reds, Pinks & Purples – Did You Put Your Song … Continue reading Bewildered

You can pre-order it here in limited edition 7″ solid cream vinyl and digital formats. Facebook Continue reading Jimmy Knows – Pilot
