No damos a basto para anunciar todas las novedades musicales que se producen en la escena indie-pop, buena parte de culpa la tiene el sello Cloudberry Records que no para de aumentar su catálogo con nuevas referencias. Una de las últimas es un single a cargo de los suecos A Smile and a Ribbon, se trata de un 7" de vinilo que incluye un par de temas, de los que podéis escuchar a continuación "Den Lille Havfrue", una preciosa canción de sonido dulce y delicado. MySpace mp3 : [...]
Chalk up another one . Boston indie pop trio Pants Yell! is calling it quits after seven years together. Frontman Andrew Churchman calls it a "self imposed expiration date" instead of a breakup, but in any case, the band's last show is scheduled for May 24th in Cambridge. Churchman wrote the following on the band's blog : To me, pants yell represents something very special and precious and I want to keep that magic intact. I'm no longer the 23 year old singing 'Evan's Way'. I want [...]

Don't know if anyone has noticed, but I've started to use the download links from the promo mails rather than uploading songs myself. Not that I've had any recent problems with IFPI , but for whatever reason I've suddenly become too much of a chicken to risk anything. Death Valley Sleepers has a lovely and rather melancholic new track named Along The Canals streaming at Myspace . Because of the band's growing popularity (thanks to that car commercial) the [...]
Good news for those on the east coast. A Smile and a Ribbon are heading to the states to play their first US tour in May. See below for dates confirmed so far. In other news, their 1000 series release "The Boy I Wish I Never Met" is now officially sold out at shelflife.com. If you missed it, there's a few shops that still have copies in stock (Jigsaw, Fraction, Hands and Arms, Fastcut, etc). We'll likely be carrying their upcoming 73 on Cloudberry when it's out (we're all excited about that!). [...]
A Smile & A Ribbon From : Sweden Some bands are defined by their name. Let's face it Megadeath were never going to be a disco band, Iron Maiden were hardly ever gonna be anything other than a heavy metal band and Haircut 100 were always gonna be a little twee. Therefore it doesn't take a genius to [...]
from Wikipedia: " Patience and Prudence (last name McIntyre, but not used professionally) were two sisters who were a young singing act in the 1950s. Their father, Mark McIntyre, was an orchestra leader, pianist, and songwriter, who accompanied Frank Sinatra on piano during the 1940s . In the summer of 1956, he brought his daughters, 11-year-old Prudence and 14-year-old Patience, into the Liberty Records studio in Los Angeles, California. They made a demonstration recording of [...]
In Hamburg brennt an diesem Wochenende mal wieder die Luft, jedenfalls für Twee- und Indiepopofreunde. Am Freitag geht der Playground #5 in der Prinzenbar über die Bühne. Neben eher kleineren Acts wie A Smile and A Ribbon geben sich die australischen The Lucksmiths die Ehre und besuchen auf ihrer Abschiedstour noch einmal den Norden. Link zur Festivalseite bei Myspace MP3-Download A Smile and A Ribbon «Pebbles» Und am Samstag geht es dann gleich mit dem Eldorado-Festival [...]

And for this post we travel to Europe...starting up north and heading south, towards the sun... Iceland: * Sigur Ros - Gobbledigook This track (see lots of naked people playing in a forest... aka the video , here ) is a taster from their new upcoming album, which will go by the title ' með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust'. Pretty catchy eh? [...]
A Smile and a Ribbon es posiblemente, junto a Days , una de las propuestas mas interesantes del nuevo catalogo del sello Shelflife Records . Forman el grupo Rebecca Mehlman y Martin Lindqvist, dos suecos enamorados del sonido de grupos de chicas de los 50 y 60 así como del twee de los años 90, hecho que se refleja en su música que resulta similar a otros grupos ya aparecidos por aquí como Free Loan Investments , The Pains of Being Pure at Heart o Hari and Aino . Su álbum de [...]

A Smile and a Ribbon har tidigare försett oss med poppärlor som Book Cover och Pebbles . När de nu gjort en jullåt är det självklart att den handlar om kärlek. Lågmäld DIY-pop när den är som bäst! För övrigt släppte bandet sin första fullängdare under hösten, den går att höra i sin helhet på last.fm ! A Smile and a Ribbon - Heavenly Christmas Den som inte kan få nog av julmusik kan surfa in på P3:s julsida , där finns [...]
Schon seit vielen Jahren ist das Portlander Label S helflife Records so etwas wie die Reinkarnation der legendären Sarah Records und von der musikalischen Ausrichtung her vielleicht noch mit Labrador aus Schweden zu vergleichen. Sie haben Indiepop- & Tweepop-Künstler aus der halben Welt unter Vertrag (mit Brideshead sogar eine Band aus Deutschland!), darunter Acts wie California Snow Story , Free Loan Investments oder Souvenir . Glücklicherweise [...]
the boy i wish i never met book cover pebbles www.asmileandaribbon.com I love twee , that's all there really is to it. I know twee is an either you love it or hate it kind of thing, but I'm a big singer-along-er and there is nothing better to sing along to than twee. You can always understand what they're saying, the lyrics are usually cute and easy [...]
A Smile and a Ribbon : The Boy I wish I never met (Shelflife) Relaunched Shelflife staples are gratifying us with this refreshing debut album from the swedish duo, reminding me a lot of Language of Flowers (how strange !!), same kind of Heavenly charm, same airy vocals but with more clappings and even several electronic intrusions. Warning : repeated listening will borrow your heart ! => A Smile and a Ribbon : The Boy I wish I never met

Sinds ik vorig jaar zomer over A Smile & A Ribbon schreef heb ik niets meer van dit Zweedse duo vernomen. Tot het Amerikaanse label Shelflife de band uit Lund oppikte en nu het debuutalbum The Boy I Wish I Never Met heeft uitgebracht. Wie waren deze Smile en Ribbon ook alweer? A Smile & A Ribbon zijn twee lieve Zweedjes (Martin en Rebecca) met lieve Zweedse vrolijke muziekjes vol getingel en getangel van xylofoons. De meeste liedjes duren niet langer dan 2 à 2 1/2e minuut. Denk aan bubblegum, jaren '50 meisjespop, maar ook aan Belle & Sebastian en [...]
Hot on the heels of Warm Morning's Silver Rain , comes A Smile and A Ribbon 's ridiculously excellent The Boy I Wish I Never Met LP; the second Shelflife release since their joyous rebirth earlier this year. I've mentioned A Smile and A Ribbon here before and after hearing the new album, I think I can safely say they're one of my favorite new bands of this year. The Boy I Wish I Never Met is as cute, concise, and charming as indiepop [...]
