French indie poppers band Origan release their debut EP on Greek label Melotron Recordings early next month. Titled T’es Pas Un Amour it features six tracks including EP teaser Amour De Zoulette which brings together dreamy vocals and synths mixed with guitars and electronica.

I have been meaning to post one or two posts covering recent releases by Indonesian bands as part of the something for the weekend series but have never got around to it to my shame. So without further ado; Sharesprings – Something Soon It’s not often I mention the same song on these pages twice but Something Soon is the standout track for me from Sharesprings’ debut album Paraparlor which also features recent single Elza, I’d Write You A Song. Excellent indiepop. Tullycraft still matters indeed. Get it from here. Ease – Longing A pretty excellent and most noisy shoegazing … Continue reading September Round Up #4

Facebook Tape Waves – Distant Light More laid back dreamy pop goodness from Tape Waves and the follow up to 2016’s Here To Fade. Whilst it … Continue reading August Round Up #3
Greek indiepop veterans Next Time Passions release a new and very limited EP next month via Melotron Recordings. Titled Another Wish it features four tracks with only the lead track Win The Universe being available for preview at this time. But what a track to preview as it is an extremely catchy jangle pop track that harks back to the golden (well not always) days of C86 and Sarah Records. The very limited art package has already gone but 35 limited CD’s remain. Get it from here. Facebook Continue reading Next Time Passions – Win The Universe
