September Round Up Time!

Tom

I have been a bit slack on posting these past couple of weeks but I have some good excuses for that! Firstly I have set up a new record label with my Sleeping Today Promotions collaborator. I have also been helping promote the next Culture Bunker night which takes place on October 22nd and it will also be part of the #keepingitpeel events for 2016. And on to getting back on track and the music that has been grabbing me of late. Indiepop supergroup (?) Tangible Excitement! will  be releasing a new 7″ single shortly on Freakscene (UK & Europe) … Continue reading September Round Up Time!

Flowers – Pull My Arm

Tom

Flowers released their second album Everybody’s Dying To Meet You this past Friday and mighty fine it is too. Currently Pull My Arm, which almost did not make the cut, is my favourite track (those vocals!) but it’s early days! The band are currently touring in support of the album and I will see you at the Sebrights in March! Everybody’s Dying To Meet You is out now on Fortuna Pop.

Chorusgirl – Oh, To Be A Defector

Tom

It’s will soon be that time of year for list compiling and I have no doubt that Chorusgirl and their excellent New Moon single that was released on Oddbox Records earlier this year will be high up on my list. That 7″ is now long sold out but the good news is that both sides of that single plus a number of other cracking tracks including long time favourite Oh, To Be A Defector can be found on the band’s self titled debut album that is out now on Fortuna Pop. You can order the album from label here or … Continue reading Chorusgirl – Oh, To Be A Defector

Flowers – Do What You Want To, It’s What You Should Do

Tom

My main worry with Do What You Want To, It’s What You Should Do was that it would be way too over produced /polished (by Bernard Butler) but thankfully that’s not the case despite their previous fuzzy guitar sound being muted somewhat. Rachel Kenedy’s vocals are as ethereal as ever and on parts send shivers down your spine. This album deserves your attention at least once. It gets mine more. Do What You Want To, It’s What You Should Do is out now. Buy from Fortuna Pop (UK/EU) or Kanine Records (US) Facebook Continue reading Flowers – Do What You Want To, It’s What You Should Do

Flowers – Joanna

Tom

Here is another track taken from Flower’s debut album Do What You Want To, It’s What You Should Do which is due out next month. New single Joanna was originally released last year on Oddbox Records and whilst this version a bit more polished thankfully it does not lose much of it’s rawness. Indeed Rachel’s voice is stunningly brought to the fore! Joanna is out later this month as a limited edition 7″ single. The album will be out on Fortuna Pop (UK/EU) and Kanine Records (US) on September 8th & 9th. Facebook Continue reading Flowers – Joanna

Flowers – Young

Tom

Young is taken from Flowers forthcoming debut album Do What You Want To, It’s What You Should Do which is due out in early September on Fortuna Pop (UK/EU) and Kanine Records (US). A lovely, lovely song and I cannot wait to hear the rest. You can buy Young digitally from Bandcamp. EDIT: A nice interview with band member Rachel can be found at DOA – adequacy.net Facebook Continue reading Flowers – Young

Clearing The Decks

Tom

I have bookmarked a lot of music to mention but time prevents me from writing about them all individually so this post is a round up of them all serving as my must buy list too! Note: if you want to listen to a companion playlist to this post head over here. The Hundredth Anniversary released their Wreckers EP back in March. Not sure why I didn’t mention it then as it’s great. Another great release on Oddbox Records. Spanish indie poppers Band A Part have a compilation of their early material and demos out on Elefant Records. It’s a … Continue reading Clearing The Decks
