Allegories



Having previously posted their debut track 'Funny Way Of Loving You' with almost no info on the band, here is another tricky to define piece from Allegories.

Talk In Tongues



A repeat dosage of fuzzy round the edges psych pop from LA mob Talk In Tongues.

AU.RA



Here is the full 'Jane's Lament' LP from Au.Ra

The album will be released next week via Felte.

HOLY



The woozy sounds emanating from a Swedish garage make attractive listening on HOLY's 'Lights'.

Golden Team



We've been following Golden Team (formerly Gold Is For The Golden Team) for some time now. Each one of their releases so far has been of the expertly crafted, shimmering variety and this is no exception.

Jake Rollins



Another rambunctious lo-fi stormer from Jake Rollins off his LP 'Spend A Few, Make A Few'.

LANKS



More virtuoso work from Melbourne's LANKS.

Ulrika Spacek



Ulrika Spacek are from London, that's all I have got on the makers of this lovely bit of warm psychedelia.

Crepes



Struggling to find words that differ from our last post about Crepes, this is 'languid, wonky pop' and I am stinking to that summation.

Jason Nolan



A bravura performance from young Surrey producer Jason Nolan. Following up on 'Stem' from late last year with this delectable, string laden slow burner.

Friday 20 February 2015

Janet



New from the ultra enigmatic Janet. Retaining the twisted aesthetic of earlier work.

CONTRAST.



We belatedly featured 'Drum Machine' by Melbourne band Contrast last November. This comes from the follow up 7" due in March.

Part of a split 12" on Art Is Hard Records featuring 4 bands in total. Living Hour's contribution is all wistful haze.

Wednesday 18 February 2015

Fall Electric



Another Perth band following on from yesterdays post of SpaceManAntics. Fall Electric have the sound of slightly sinister open country down to a tee.

Surf Rock Is Dead



Another large record from Surf Rock Is Dead.

Crater



Don't normally bother with covers but this reworking of a Stone Roses classic by Seattle bleakaholics Crater is brilliant.

Drawly delights from Spokane trio Wild Pacific.

Au.Ra



Can't get enough of Au.Ra, this is another cut from the upcoming LP 'Janes Lament' due for release by Felte next month.

Heart Beach



From Horsebeach to Heart Beach, there are certainly a glut of plage fixated bands around at the moment. A big chunk of them are pretty decent too, not least this three piece from Tasmania.

Horsebeach



The second half of the new Horsebeach 7". The other side 'Disappear' was featured here earlier in the month.

Echo Lake



A second sample from the upcoming Echo Lake LP 'Era'.

Thursday 12 February 2015

Ekoda Map



Like this very much, from an unspecified location in the UK, via the excellent Abandon Building label.

Joey Fourr



Chronic case of taking our eyes off the ball here. Joey Fourr's 'Gold Boy' was in our favourite 25 tracks of last year but this was missed entirely. Thanks to Don't Need No Melody for showing us the error of our ways.

Yumi Zouma



New Yumi Zouma, taken from their second EP for Cascine.

Wednesday 11 February 2015

Uber accomplished work from fresh London act Dah Rhyl Gah Moor. They have a mini album due on 25th February. This is a heady first taster.

Lion Bark



Long awaited new material from Brighton's Lion Bark.

Monday 9 February 2015

Jake Rollins



At turns a producer of tip top slacker pop and something altogether more meandering. Jake Rollins hails from Boston.

Solomon Grey



With the release of their EP 'The Selected Works' due next week, Solomon Grey have aired this treat.

Ghost Hours



The only thing I know about Ghost Hours is that he likes Garden City Movement...

Thursday 5 February 2015
