I came across Along Came December whilst delving through the back catalogue of Japanese label Canata Records. I was impressed by the recent EP they (well he as Along Came December is one Glen Jones) released back in June and was going to post about that but then I found out that another EP had been released last month. It’s a mix of styles and whilst not as 80’s indie orientated as the aforementioned EP it’s still worth a listen and a free download – unless you want tio contribute of course! Continue reading Along Came December – Got It Wrong
Boyish release their new single The Hidden Secrets on Cloudberry Records next week. It’s limited to 500 copies and features four tracks. It’s very C86 influenced as are most things I have heard coming out of Japan these days. Those in the UK can order it from Rough Trade. You can download a mp3 of the track from here. Homepage Continue reading Boyish – The Hidden Secrets
I am not sure how two tracks can be classified as an EP but I shouldn’t really complain given the quality of them both. Based on them I can safely conclude there is no letting up on the C86 revival from this Japanese band who I previously wrote about here. And it’s a free download too! Homepage Continue reading The Moments – Faraway EP
Too Good For You is the stand out track from Trambeat’s self released Walk A Mile EP which you can pick up from the band’s bandcamp page. It’s an addictive and catchy northern soul inspired tune which certainly keeps the faith! The aforementioned EP caught the ear of two labels in Germany (Firestation Records & Sundae Soul Recordings) who will be jointly releasing two tracks lifted from it as a limited edition 7″ single next month. You can pre-order it here. The flip side will be the EP’s title track which also adds a bit of rap into the mix. … Continue reading Trambeat – Too Good For You
I must admit that the Occasional Flickers had fallen off my radar since 2007’s “When The Sky Looks So Gray” single. The band were founded by Greek born Giorgos Bouras and are now based in Edinburgh. You can hear some of Scotlands musical influences here. I am not gonna mention any bands as that will constitute a review suffice to say this one of the finest pieces of indiepop I have heard this year. The single is out now on 7″ vinyl from Cloudberry Records. You can download a mp3 of the single from here Homepage Facebook Continue reading The Occasional Flickers – Capitalism Begins at Home
