Written by longtime Bopper Rumevari, we think this is an extremely well done review (along with some edits for readability by myself). And you may learn something, too. People have asked for my thoughts on the new Daft Punk album Random Access Memories. Just so it's finally out there, here you go. I feel it's [...]

By now it's old news that Daft Punk tagged a motley crew of collaborators for their highly-anticipated fourth studio album, Random Access Memories . Nile Rodgers, Pharrell Williams, Panda Bear, Julian Casablancas, Todd Edwards, DJ Falcon, Chilly Gonzales, Paul Williams, and the loveable ol' Giorgio Moroder all make up the laundry list of five-star talent. Though, if you're familiar with the French duo's fascinating and sometimes confusing history, you'll know they've been popular hosts to enviable company in years past. On the off chance that you didn't know, we thought we'd offer a brief tutorial of their [...]

British quartet Allo Darlin' made a really great seasonal EP. The titles seem un-Christmas-y, but listen to Only Dust Behind. 7777777 by Allo Darlin'

En el post anterior comentábamos unos de los últimos singles publicados por el sello Slumberland Records , pues bien, esta novedad discográfica ha venido acompañada de otra que al igual que la anterior se nos presenta en forma de single de vinilo de 7".

• Allo Darlin' - Northern Lights

Por Pilar Renau Allo Darlin’ representa a grandes rasgos el ascenso de la banda indie: partiendo de ser ignotos – como todos – llegaron a grabar un gran primer disco – Allo Darlin’ (2010) – a ser reconocidos por algunos popes de la crítica musical, a participar en varios grandes festivales – como el SXSW – y a grabar un segundo – gran – disco, Europe . “(El proceso de grabación de Europe) [...]

The year is 1987, the city: Paris; two thirteen year old boys bump into each other and quickly form a strong friendship.  Fast Forward 5 years and you see Thomas Bangaltar along with Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Laurent Brancowitz playing in  a Guitar-based band, named after The Beach Boys song "Darlin'".  After one particular show [...]

Three English lads and one Aussie lady make up indie pop band Allo Darlin'. "Europe", the title track from the band's forthcoming sophomore LP, is smart, sharp, and just cute enough that you might catch yr Grandma getting down with the song. Look out for "Europe"s great 902s-influenced Cure-informed melodic lines. Allo Darlin' - Europe Allo Darlin' ( Facebook ) Rating 8.3

Allo Darlin’: Europe - I have always had an affinity for strong female singers; you can blame the feminist in me; and it is that fact which initially attracted me to this band. Based out of London, Elizabeth Morris, Paul Rains, Bill Botting, and Mikey Collins make up the indie pop quartet: Allo Darlin’ . Lead singer, Elizabeth Morris, hales from Australia and somehow manages to be one of those exceptional vocal anomalies in which their accent is present throughout her singing. It has always eluded me why so many singers lose their accent when singing, but [...]

• Allo Darlin' - Capricornia

Allo Darlin’ , for the indiepop crowd that dream of Hefner reunions, follow the Wave Pictures from town to town and salivate over The Understudies' next limited 7 inch single, are something of a last great hope. Their debut back in 2009, while referential in the extreme, mixed clear-eyed antipodean observations of the London scene with cardigan-clad payoff lines and a horn-rimmed wit that sat snug and smiling among its fields of ukelele and minor key guitar notes. Yet to the wider world their material remained somewhat limited by its specificity despite appealing with its pop culture detail – [...]

Allo Darlin' Europe Slumberland Records [2012] Fire Note Says: Allo Darlin' pour on the mature indie pop with their sophomore record Europe ! Album Review: Allo Darlin' are a London-based four piece that is fronted by the silky smooth pop vocals of Australian Elizabeth Morris. Her spot on delivery grabs you instantly on the first single "Capricornia" as she sings the beginning lines over a simplistic [...]

This music feels special in a serious way -- special like a best friend, not like a cool trend you fall for momentarily and then are embarrassed by the next summer. Allo Darlin's name might seem sickly cute. Their first LP (self-titled, 2010) and preceding singles might have garnered attention for their spunky cleverness and charmingly cheeky moments, on love songs that played on pop-culture touchpoints; songs like "Henry Rollins Don't Dance" or "Woody Allen", where she imagined and un-imagined a relationship as an Allen or Ingmar Bergman film. What made Allo Darliin' special, though, was something more. Even [...]

A couple of years back, London town dwellers Allo Darlinʼ sprang their sparky self-titled debut on us and, it’s fair to say, it was really quite lovely. Well now they’re back and fear not, sparks and loveliness are still their able companions with, if anything, just a tad more flesh on their bones. Europe is an album full of sharp jangly pop that bounces and skits along and insists on taking you with it. Actually, it would be more accurate to say it asks you politely to go along with it – and you do. [...]

You can now stream Allo Darlin' s new album, Europe , in its entirety. The band's sophomore offering is due May 1st on Slumberland Records. Check it out below:

Facebook / allodarlin.com/ Allo Darlin' are one of those bands that I always assume I've covered but find I haven't, the demand to appear (probably self manifested) to be constantly finding 'new bands' sometimes means 'established' acts get ignored, when I tend to average time to post about a blog a day and there are 100's of bands I could post about obviously some have to get missed, but now this London based indie-pop quartet have created such a perfect, summers day gem that I can't help but post about it.
