I mentioned Weepop Records the other day when I wrote about The Just Joans , and it turns out that they have many artists on their label that are right up my alley, all of whom have a free mp3 or two available on the site for free . Drew from Across The Kitchen Table also informs me that they send lollies with every music purchase! Well, he said sweets actually, but this Aussie girl just can't pull that off without feeling silly, I'm afraid. Here are a few tracks that grabbed [...]

Tweet Seapony is a new project from Transmittens ' Jen and Danny + Ian , and they make the loveliest pop-songs! The Seattle trio have just released their first EP for free on Bandcamp, and it features 4 really good songs. My favourites are the stunningly beautiful opener "Dreaming" and "I really do", with its sweet vocals and twangy guitars. Seapony has the rough pop-power of bands like Dum Dum Girls, Veronica Falls or Best Coast, but they also remind me [...]
transmittens From: Lawrence, Kansas, United States With a name like transmittens and tracks called Balloons in the Sky and Meet Me At The Swings it doesn't take a genius to guess that the Kansas based duo are a little bit twee. Their special brand of tinny-beated, moog-enhanced light and airy pocket pop wouldn't sound out of place on a Sarah Records retrospective or a Slumberland [...]
![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 [...]

Transmittens! I first heard Lawrence, Kansas' own Transmittens almost a year ago when WeePOP! released their first mini-album, Our Dreams . At that time they sounded a bit like the Deirdres, playing lush little pop songs full of bells and what have you. Well, fast forward to the now and they've already got another mini-album out on WeePOP! and this one is called We Disappear . Things are a little bit different this time around, but "catchy little pop song"s would still be a pretty solid descriptor. The album end [...]
das neue album heißt "sage" und erscheint am 9. februar und ist damit nachfolger der 09er veröffentlichung "we were strangers in paddington green", damals noch unter dem moniker brent randall & his pinecones" herausgebracht: the pinecones - sage eines meiner lieblingslabel, nämlich la société expéditionnaire gab kürzlich auskunft über die bevorstehenden projekte, da wollen wir uns eben einklinken und das wichtigste weitergeben, zunächst hätten wir da das album "dual horizon", welches ab 15.02. ausschließlich auf colored [...]
Regular readers know I'm a fan of the tiny 33 cds from WeePop! records . Their first release in 2010 is from the Kansas-duo Transmittens , who will release a 10 track mini-album called "We disappear" on January 29th. This will be Transmittens second release on Weepop!, and it can be pre-ordered already now from the label's website. From the press release, the music is described as "catchy synth-pop songs laced with jangly guitars and some very clever lyrics", and I guess it sounds something like this: [...]

Danny and Jen Transmittens! With the very Springtime-ish weather we've been having lately, I've been keeping lots of fun, sunny pop songs in heavy rotation and Transmittens ' "Balloons In The Sky" is one of them! Their debut record, Our Dreams just came out WeePOP! Records – to no surprise, as they're some of the finest purveyors of fun, sunny pop out there! – and it's sure to be something to hold on to in the upcoming Summer months. "Balloons In The Sky" is a blast. It makes me want to [...]
