[PHOTO CREDIT: Zuzia Skoczek] >> As our 2003 trashing of the debut by poptrash audioporn puppets T.A.T.U. suggests, we are interested in learning about music scenes in non-English-speaking countries. So we were eager to listen to Polish shoegaze duo CNC when we received a pitch from their organization late last year announcing the November release of the new EP No Mood . The band casts itself as "shoegaze psych-pop" (its MySpace blurb charmingly promises "same f*cking riff again"), and we suppose that is a pretty apt description, although we hear elements of [...]

"Επιτέλους, ένα σπουδαίο indiepop άλμπουμ!", αναφώνησα [από μέσα μου] πριν λίγο, ακούγοντας τα πρώτα τραγούδια του τρίτου άλμπουμ των Sweet Trip από το San Francisco . Εξαιρετικές συνθέσεις, υπέροχα dreamy φωνητικά από την Valerie R. Cooper , αλλά και από τον εγκέφαλο του συγκροτήματος Roby Burgos , μελωδικές indie αλλά και shoegaze κιθάρες, συν μερικά ηλεκτρονικά στοιχεία, συνθέτουν μια πολύ γενναιόδωρη [14 τραγούδια στο σύνολο] κατάθεση των Sweet Trip στη χρονιά που κλείνει σιγά σιγά την αυλαία της δεκαετίας. Παρά την ωριαία διάρκεια του You Will Never Know Why [...]
Ok, not technically...that was actually Monday last week. In any case, we were so busy that we missed it - but we'll make it up to you next year, we promise! It's been a successful year so far, helping spread the word about the bands we love and getting mentions on some of the outlets we look up to, like Idolator , Stereogum , and VH1's Best Week Ever ... Anyway, to celebrate we're reposting mp3s from the first 10 posts we made. Check it: Sweet [...]

Sweet Trip is a 3 piece from San Francisco. I caught them live and was impressed by their sound. Try taking My Bloody Valentine and mixing it in a bowl with Aphex Twin and St. Etienne...that's what they sound like. Nice fuzzed out guitars and synths too. Although the 2 songs below are pretty pop-centric, they do have a more experimental glitchy side that definitely keeps things interesting. Anyway, check out the tracks below. I especially recommend "Dsco". Sweet [...]
