The Records I Like Podcast – October 2018

Tom

I have been meaning to get back to using Mixcloud for a while now but I am a bit lazy and Playmoss is a doddle to use. But Mixcloud embeds in WordPress….

Tom

Another bump crop of tunes for you to enjoy. There is a lot of good stuff out there at present so dive in by clicking on the image – you will need to allow pop ups. EDIT. If the tracks skip (Playmoss bug) head to the links below. More playlists can be found here and the Playmoss page is here. PS. I haven’t mentioned it but if you haven’t noticed there is a new menu item called videos where I quickly post, erm videos, of tracks to keep the site ticking over. So if you are thinking it’s a bit … Continue reading Clouds – A Records I Like Playlist (October #1)

September Round Up #4

Tom

I have been meaning to post one or two posts covering recent releases by Indonesian bands as part of the something for the weekend series but have never got around to it to my shame. So without further ado; Sharesprings – Something Soon It’s not often I mention the same song on these pages twice but Something Soon is the standout track for me from Sharesprings’ debut album Paraparlor which also features recent single Elza, I’d Write You A Song. Excellent indiepop. Tullycraft still matters indeed. Get it from here. Ease – Longing A pretty excellent and most noisy shoegazing … Continue reading September Round Up #4

September Round Up #1

Tom

I returned home after a week away to a bursting at the seams bandcamp inbox on top of those songs/band I have yet to write about or give a mention too. Here is the first of a number of posts trying to rectify that! Foundlings – Horizons Another fine slice of 1990’s tinged melodic guitar pop from London’s Foundlings. It’s their finest moment yet! Facebook The Angel Makers – Sam and Sara I mentioned the lead track from this EP back in June and I am glad to hear that this EP carries on in pretty much the same vein. … Continue reading September Round Up #1

Say Sue Me – Just Joking Around​/​B​-​Lover

Tom

Excellent double sided new single from Busan’s Say Sue Me. Just Joking Around is a slow burning ballad before suddenly exploding into a frenzy of guitar riffs. Plenty of Pavement and Pale Saint influences on this one. Flip side ​B​-​Lover on the other hand is a fuzzy C86 laden affair which sees the band returning to the sound that grabbed me in the first place. Say Sue Me show no signs of letting up whatsoever. Just Joking Around​/​B​-​Lover is available as limited edition vinyl plus the usual digital formats. Order it from here. Facebook Continue reading Say Sue Me – Just Joking Around​/​B​-​Lover

August Round Up #2

Tom

It’s been a bit quiet around here recently so let’s rectity that with a few tunes. Citrus Clouds – Golden Sun Reverb heavy indie/dream pop from Arizona and follow up to last years excellent Ultrasound LP. Facebook Deaf – Shards I really enjoyed Deaf’s Truancy single and Shards carries on in pretty much the same vein. It’s an enjoyable track with a strong retro feel yet sounds like something fresh. Another strong vocal performance from Luke Kavanagh whose voice has has a ring of Billy Mackenzie to it. Facebook СТОПКРАН & Please Tokyo – Split Interesting split cassette from two … Continue reading August Round Up #2
