The other afternoon I was listening to some early Comet Gain, their offshoot band Velocette and the long-forgotten Kicker liking the way each of those bands blended a heady mix of Northern Soul and the 1960’s girl-groups/Phil Spector sound. Who does that these days I thought? And then, through the letterbox (well email), popped the latest release from New Jersey’s Fascinations Grand Chorus which does precisely that on Wherever You Go. To the dancefloor that’s where….. Facebook Continue reading Fascinations Grand Chorus – Wherever You Go

Some Christmas releases to catch the ear. Seafang – Happy When It Snows Actually this, like all of Seafang’s releases to date, is actually pretty good. Shoegaze (or should that be snowgaze) mixed with the sounds of C86 delivers one of the better holiday songs I have heard. They also cover The Primitives You Trashed My Christmas for good measure too. Facebook Girl Ray – (I Wish I Were Giving You a Gift) This Christmas Epic indiepop from Girl Ray. There is so much going on here you are going to have to play it a few times to take … Continue reading Christmas Single Jingles
As we hurtle to the end of 2017 I am trying to collate a number of releases over the next few posts. Sky Faction – Sky Faction Sky Faction have members of Starry Eyed Cadet amongst their ranks so if you are familiar with that band you may guess how this lot sound. If not then we have five indiepop tracks that may delight or annoy in equal measure. Whilst No One Else is an absolute delight I am pegged back by the over complicated Miss Solitary and the dreary Mar. Thankfully things pick up on Lactose Intolerant and the … Continue reading Ending 2017 #1
