I am working by the sea this week in a very cold Swanage. Luckily I am next door to a cider house. Plus who can begrudge the sound of crashing waves. Talking of sounds here is a another sampler for … Continue reading The By The Sea Sampler
Colatura – Team Sport New York dreampoppers Colatura are back with a melodic new single in the shape of Team Sport. Synths and guitars shimmer whilst the songs words deal with attempting to make a relationship work. The bands debut … Continue reading Singles Going Steady
I have been playing these tracks tonight. Now it’s your turn to do the same! Here is the Playlist: or listen on YouTube Nobody’s Flowers – Mountains out of Broken Men Sounding more like The Smiths than Northern Portrait ever … Continue reading The Saturday Sampler
The Yearning has gone all ABBA on us as the new single Only When I’m Dancing demonstrates. The flip side Moonlight Fantasy errs on the side of disco. It all brings up images of wide lapels, flares, tassels, sparkling dresses and glitter balls. It’s very nice and fun too – check out the video. I wonder if they will move onto the 1980s next? When I’m Dancing is out now in digital formats via Elefant Records. Atlanta’s Bathe Alone has released six tracks since last September with new track In Deep being the latest. It’s an indie-rock track that tells … Continue reading The Wednesday Mix
As I mentioned the other day it’s been a bit quiet around here due to a job change so this weekend will be two posts dedicated to catching up on what I have been listening too over the past couple of weeks. Hyperdream – Selfish Dream Excellent shoegaze from Mexico. More than a few nods towards MBV (a speeded up version of Swallow?) both soundwise and cover art. Really liking this one. Facebook Flowerbox – Flowerbox An interesting and strong debut EP covering both indiepop and shoegaze. Most of the songs are slow paced which gives you time to appreciate … Continue reading July Round Up #1
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!
Useless Youth don’t bother reinventing the indiepop wheel but instead plunder it to great effect. On Youth, the latest single to be taken from the forthcoming album The Coldest Ocean, they mix jangling guitars, boy/girl vocals and sweet harmonies in order to create a likable bedroom pop track that will certainly garner a few more plays. Nice…. Facebook Continue reading Useless Youth – Youth
Fantasy by Mexican outfit Useless Youth is a joyful romp through the indiepop template both past and present. It’s very catchy and well worth a listen. Buy it digitally from bandcamp. Facebook Continue reading Useless Youth – Fantasy
