Fløver is the new project from one, or both, members of Palm Haze and it should come as no surprise that it sounds pretty similar. Noisy guitars that reek of punk rock stand alongside vocals with a bit of attitude which equals a pretty decent alt-rock track. Not bad at all. Continue reading Fløver – Reef
Ecstatic is yet another catchy indie/synth pop track from Bandung’s Ping Pong Club. It bounces along at pace and is a fine choice for the opening track for the band’s debut LP that will be released next year. And that leaves me …. Facebook Continue reading Ping Pong Club – Ecstatic

More playlists can be found here and the Playmoss page is here. Continue reading Don’t Let Go Of The Light – A Records I Like Playlist (November 2018 #2)
Well after being struck down with an ear infection since the weekend the first thing I have listened to all week is the new EP from Chilean band La Casa De Emma and it’s their first release proper following from the demos released earlier this year. Four of the five songs here don’t top the 105 seconds mark being fast, frantic and damn good. It’s on the final and longest song Skolniks where the band excel mind. It sounds like a long long classic from the C86 era and even at 3m.15s it’s way too short as the vocalist sings … Continue reading La Casa De Emma – Refugio Invernal EP

I think this final post of the week finally sees me catching up with my bandcamp bookmarks, well the stuff I liked, for now.

Facebook Death of Heather – I Can Tell Bangkok’s Death of Heather build upon the promise of their July demos delivering a lovely polished dreampop effort that will be … Continue reading Give, Give, Give Me More, More, More…..
Today’s round up features compilations that may, or may not, grab your ears and attention….. Goodbye Idiots II A compilation put together to celebrate Mexican label Stupid Decisions second birthday. It features some excellent indiepop tunes from the likes of Marble Gods, Andrew Younker and Orchid Mantis amongst others.

Facebook Come On Feel The NoiZe, Vol. 2 – Americas´Attack The Blog That Celebrates Itself Records follow up last years Brazilian compilation … Continue reading Now That’s What I Call Compilations…..
Time for a round up of post-punk singles & EP’s Product KF – Product Kf An interesting release this from the art work as well as the fact that they have just uploaded side one and two of a cassette to bandcamp without splitting the tracks. Musically it’s great. Opener Today is very Gang of Four especially the guitars whilst No Love In Our House sounds very raw, like an early Factory Records band demo. Talking of Factory they even cover Tunnelvision’s Hydroplanes. Essential post-punk listening. Primitive Lips – Image Of Truth Another great single. The incurious vocals contrast with … Continue reading Business Unusual…..
Another round up of singles and EP’s for your listening pleasure…… Blushing – The Truth / Sunshine The first single to be taken from dreampoppers Blushing’s debut album due for release early next year. The flip side Sunshine is a shimmering delight in the way Lush sounded when they first emerged many moons ago. Get your vinyl copy of the single from here. Facebook The Hannah Barberas – No Mystery EP Another fine EP from the fans of Jessica Fletcher. It’s more consistent than the debut EP and I really like the Throwing Muses like Spellbound. The EP is currently … Continue reading Singles Going Steady……
Rounding up some new tracks that have been released over the past few weeks or two… The Golden Rail – Don’t Let Go Of The Light The first single taken from a yet unnamed second album due for release next year. Distinct and mature sounding indiepop from the band that features ex members of Palisades, The Rainyard, Header, Summer Suns etc. Facebook Rei Clone – Wave Somewhat noisy and very impressive shoegaze from Texan’s Rei Clone. Facebook Fanclub – Reflection More from Texas but this time a slice of twee inspired indiepop. Facebook Fawns of Love – Mournful Eyes The … Continue reading One Track Wonders…..
