Entre los sellos discográficos especializados el el indie pop más delicado, uno de los más destacados es WeePOP! , en cuyo catálogo nos vamos a encontrar referencias tan señaladas como por ejemplo The Just Joans, Allo Darlin', Let's Whisper, The Smittens, o los que hoy nos ocupan, Stars of Aviation. En este sello, el grupo ha publicado su último Ep hasta la fecha, "By the Shore", un cd de 3" que vio la luz en el mes de junio del año pasado. Sin embargo, su trayectoria se remonta bastantes años atrás, [...]

nur mal eben die liste derer, die dem drummer bei seiner zweiten solounternehmung unterstützten: devendra banhart, no age, guillermo scott herren (prefuse 73), greg saunier (deerhoof), carson mcwhirter (hella), nick reinhart (tera melos, bygones), robby moncrieff, "face tat" erscheint mitte oktober auf sargent house: zach hill - memo to the man "tall hours in the glowstream" wurde der nachfolger von "paranoid cocoon" betitelt, er wird am 24. august auf suicide squeeze records erscheinen und die ersten tunes klingen charmant nach e-country, verzwickt, aber lofi: [...]

This weekend, while the indie pop world is partying away at Indietracks , I'll be flying to Austria instead for the second part of this summer's holiday . The last couple of years I've been seriously thinking of going to the English Midlands for the festival and although I'm really too old to be sleeping in a tent and living off junk food and beers for three days, it would without a doubt be motherfucking fun! But sadly things didn't work out [...]

Stars of Aviation Today's free MP3 is a lovely bit of indiepop from Stars of Aviation and Underneath the Elms The track is taken from their new EP on Wee Pop.

WeePOP! records have two new releases available now, Stars of Aviation and The 1959 Hat Co .. My orders arrived yesterday, including these two 33 cds and the very welcome candy and badge that Camila always puts into the envelope. Both cds are wonderful, sunshiny indiepop-releases, and highly recommended. WeePOP! is easy to order from, the cds are cheap and the music is good. No reason not to surf over to http://weepop.net/ and make your order. In the next couple of months, you can expect EPs by Let's [...]
![WeePOP! Records [Label Spotlight]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2644458_lg.jpg)
There is a growing underground force of pop labels releasing music on nontraditional formats. Of these formats, two prevalent ones, at least in the lo-fi pop and twee pop arenas, are cassette and the 3-inch single. Being such a strong fan of the genres that release via these formats, one would think I would have the ability to play them when they arrive in my mailbox. Unfortunately, I do not at this time. (But boy do I love receiving them!) WeePOP! Records releases via the latter and they've built [...]

Now that London Popfest is out of the way, it's time to turn our attention to this year's Indietracks festival, which will take place 23-25 July at the lovely Midland Railway Centre in Derbyshire. Last year we covered the event quite extensively, and this year will be no different. Previews of the bands in the run up to the event, followed by reports and a shit ton of photos of the weekend itself. I'm not exaggerating when I call Indietracks the highlight of my musical year. Where else can you get a non-stop indiepop while surrounded by (and [...]

It's been a pretty hectic week for me here, so while I'm still trying to get back on track with this blog thing, here are a couple of bands I've really been enjoying of late. Apologies for the brevity of the comments. - Cardiff just keeps on churning out quality bands, and in that spirit, I'm happy to present Cloud Atlas for your listening pleasure. Forming a year ago, they have been gigging around Cardiff as well as making the occasional excursion down to London. [...]
