Wishing everyone a very Happy Christmas, Welcome to Part two of our delicate feel around Santa`s most prized possession - His sack. More seasonal melodies and holiday one-offs to listen/download while roasting your nuts in front of a two-bar electric fire, armed with one of those strange tasting mulled wines. First off, Dublin based Indiecater Records never fail to deliver when winter downloads are concerned. We`ve taken one track from the huge 17 track Christmas compilation from way back in 2008 and one from ` A Special Indiecater Christmas Gift ` EP released this month. The Very Most [...]

Tweet The brief was simple, take Teenage Fanclub's (Gorky's really but we prefer the most northerly version) criminally short 'Christmas Eve' (where the vocals only drift in with about 25 seconds to go) and turn it into something approaching egg timing capibility. And as is their gift the Idaho collective went off and completed what seemed like mission impossible. 'Christmas Eve' caught our attention way back in 2000 when it completed what was a quadruple serving of glorious new festive ditties (the [...]

Het leuke indie-label Indiecater biedt al voor het vierde jaar op rij een speciale kerstrelease. Deze vierder, een EP, bieden ze gratis aan op hun website voor al wie al ooit eens iets kocht bij hen, zich inschreef voor een nieuwsbrief of al eens mailde (want die beschouwen ze allemaal als hun vrienden). Het EP-tje bevat deze 4 nummers : 1. Wombling merry Christmas (mp3) - [...]

Género: Indie pop. Jeremy Jensen (guitar, vocals, bass), Gia Trotter (vocals, keyboards), Jake Hite (drums, electronics), Elijah Jensen (guitar, keyboards) son de Boise, Idaho, USA y desde el 2002 que conforman The Very Most . Orfebres del pop luminoso y optimista son prolíficos pero desconocidos, así que para ponernos al día tenemos A Year With the Very Most que es un compilado de los 4 EPs que publicaron en el 2010 y que puede ser una buena referencia para saber que fabrican. Aunque si prefieres algo más [...]

Tweet It may have originated via several furry creatures from a borough in London but it has taken a group of less furry (marginally) types from the other side of the Atlantic to bring 'Wombling Merry Christmas' to its logical conclusion. I have the fondest memories of playing the Wombles original on a turntable and thinking that although it sounded quite like a novelty hit it was nonetheless imbued with bountiful melody. Which made the decision of Boise's premier indie pop combo, [...]
I'd been listening a lot to the Very Most of late, and thinking how fab they were, when I finally remembered to check the TMAP email account (it'd been a while) - and what should I find in the inbox, but an email from Mr Very Most himself, Jeremy Jensen, telling us all about the band's latest five-track EP, Patricia . And, true to form, it's an absolute gem. Here's the promo vid for the title track. Other songs on the EP include the brief-but-brill Gleaming The Gleam , a sweet Jonathan [...]

Volvemos a referirnos a una de las bandas más prolíficas y con mayor talento de la escena indie norteamericana, se trata de The Very Most, banda de Boise, Idaho, que acaba de publicar un nuevo Ep llamado Patricia, disponible en descarga digital o vinilo de 7" en edición limitada. En este nuevo Ep se incluyen un total de 4 temas, tres de ellos propios y una estupenda versión del clásico de los Pixies "Here Comes Your Man". Como es habitual en cada una de las canciones que publica la banda, su sonido es una perfecta combinación de brillantes [...]

La banda de Idaho, The Very Most, son sin duda uno de los grupos que más aparecen por este blog, primero fue con ocasión de su segundo álbum, con el que les conocimos, y posteriormente con cada uno de los Eps que el grupo dedicó a las estaciones del año, en una fantástica serie publicada por el sello Indiecater Records. Ahora los tenemos nuevamente aquí para presentarnos un nuevo Ep, publicado por el sello EardrumsPop , que como siempre, se puede descargar de forma totalmente gratuita, para ello tan solo tenéis que pasar [...]

Our in-box is overflowing again and we don't have the capacity to do these songs proper justice. So with our apologies, here is an all-too-cursory round-up of some new tracks we're enjoying - and all well worth some investment from your ears. We have some delightfully jangly indie-pop in the classic vein from The Very Most and from Bronze Medal , some retro-inspired 'British invasion' style rock from The Young Things , and a modern indie rock means Motown style soul number from Poison Control Center. [...]

Can I first appeal for a bit of calm, the screams and shrieks of anguish have become so loud I can hardly hear myself think. Yes, The Very Most have released 2 singles without the Indiecater logo in close attendance but we are still tied to the hip when it comes to music making and its delivery into the wider world. By the time it gets a lot colder and the shops are a lot twinklier a very special record shall issue from the indie pop king that is Jeremy Jensen (and friends) and we will be there with him [...]

das beste an den anfang, es wird ein neues album geben, "twist again" erscheint als selfrelease, folgt nach diesem genialen auftakt einfach ihrer bandpage: bodies of water - open rhythms den holländer sollte man sich vielleicht mal angucken, auf excelsior records brachte djurre de haan im letzten jahr sein erstes solowerk heraus, nun zeigt er sich erneut auch in hiesigen gefilden, tourdaten siehe unten: awkward i : sea life by excelsiorrecordings [...]

Yes, we're posting our Single Song Sunday feature a bit early this week. But infamously bipolar songwriter Daniel Johnston turns 50 today, and I can't think of a better way to honor his impact on the music world than with this collection of covers of his best-known composition. The hope and pain inherent in the brilliantly simple lyric and melody of this piece and many others have touched a nerve in many artists both well-known and obscure since Johnston's first cassette hit the streets in 1981, prompting a multitude of covers, [...]

Tweet The Very Most have a new EP out these days, "Patricia". It features 4 wonderful popsongs, including the sweetest version of The Pixies' "Here Comes Your Man" you can ever think of. Both the title-track and their tribute to Jonathan Richman, named "Jonathan Richman" , are among the best I have heard from the band. Really, really good songs. The one minute long ukulele-track "Gleaming Gleam" is nice enough, but easier to forget than the other [...]

Two bands from two different parts of the world have joined forces to give you the next free single in our digital singles series at EardrumsPop. The Very Most from Boise, Idaho, USA, and The Hermit Crabs from Glasgow, Scotland, have collaborated via the internet to make this [...]
