The Morelings – We Were

Tom

The Morelings debut album Same Century is out this week and We Were is the lead single taken from it. It’s a fine slice of luscious, polished dreampop and is a firm indicator of what the album may bring. Buy Same Century from here. The band have also covered The Psychedelic Furs classic Heaven for Highwire Days, The Psychedelic Furs´ Reverence tribute album that has recently been released by The Blog That Celebrates Itself Records. It’s a free download from here. Facebook Continue reading The Morelings – We Were

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!

Pinkshinyultrablast – Find Your Saint

Tom

What a tune to come back to after a three week break. The new single from Pinkshinyultrablast could well be the sound of the Cocteau Twins if they were recording now instead of thirty plus years ago. Despite slimming down to a trio the band sound more expansive here. Mixing Shoegaze and dj beats alongside the vocals of singer Lyubov this is fast becoming an instant classic to these ears. Wonderful. It’s out on 1st September via Club AC30. They play both London and Oxford in October on the 20th and 21st respectively. More details here.

Blossom Cherry Bloom Sleep – A Records I Like Playlist (July 2017 #04)

Tom

I am not sure if Playmoss is making me lazy or if it’s given me the chance to post more music that grabs me more than normal. I certainly post tracks which impress me even if the rest of that band’s output doesn’t have much of an impact on my ears. That is something I wouldn’t do previously. Anyway I will let you decide. Given that this is the fourth playlist this month July has been a cracking month for music discoveries all round and here is a selection of jangle pop, indiepop, dreampop, shoegaze and alt-rock for your listening … Continue reading Blossom Cherry Bloom Sleep – A Records I Like Playlist (July 2017 #04)
