I've been getting into several new albums of late, and when that happens, I often want to play several songs from the same band on my radio show. I restrained myself, narrowing it down to a pair each; that's the theme of tonight's show - doubles. I'll be playing back-to-back tracks from each artist I play tonight, including new stuff by The Besnard Lakes, Wolf People, King Tuff, and Arrington de Dionyso's Malaikat dan Singa. We begin, however, with a band I originally covered way back in 2010: Young Hunting. Regarding [...]
Math and Physics Club - We're So DIY! mp3 This delightful ditty's been popping up in our 'pod and pate of late, so we thought, "Why NOT?" Info and the same photo here.
So what does a band do when it goes into semi-retirement? Do they spend their days playing Canasta and Cribbage in a retirement home somewhere sunny? Take ship cruises in the Caribbean? Buy a Winnebago and hit the road in style? If you are the finest purveyors of twee-cuddle-core-hard-core-roc k-n-roll then you make a new record and have DJ battles with other bands. When Tullycraft went on hiatus back in 2009 they said they would no longer be playing live, but left the door open for more records. Four years later they have [...]
"I love my music and I'm tired of my fake friends" come presa di posizione potrà suonare un po' di maniera, quasi antiquata ora che ogni cosa intorno alla musica è diventata condivisione e vetrina. Ma i Tullycraft , che cantano questo verso nel loro nuovo album Lost In Light Rotation , hanno fatto della loro quasi ventennale carriera una continua presa di posizione, una guerra di resistenza sui confini del territorio accidentato dell'indiepop. Li avevamo conosciuti il secolo scorso con il manifesto programmatico Pop Songs Your New Boyfriend's Too Stupid To [...]
>> The fact that we haven't bought a Tullycraft record since the release of 1999's singles compilation (fittingly titled The Singles ) is more a sign of poor decision making than of a lack of enthusiasm for the delightful indie pop institution. We can still remember the excitement in college back in the dark ages when those first singles were arriving at the radio station, a time when people still somewhat suspiciously referred to Seattle-based Tullycraft as the "new thing from the Crayon guy." Fronted by Sean [...]

tullycraft gehört zu einer jener bands, derer wegen ich diesen blog einst begann. ihre startphase um 1995 hatte ich zwar noch verpasst und damit auch die nicht unwesentlichen anfänge auf harriet records, aber alsbald durfte man mich zum festen fanpersonal der band um sean tollefson, jeff fell und gary miklusek zählen (das klienicum zum beispiel 2007 ). 1996 erschien ihr erstes full lenght, und so unbestechlich wie der titel es vorgibt, so gut war auch "old traditions, new standards". cher doll records zeichnete zwei jahre später für das zweite album verantwortlich, "city of subarus". mit "beat, [...]
By Kenny McMurtrie March 25, 2013 So who says you need to start sending a year's worth of singles out in January? Not Fortuna Pop! anyway as they've started their's off this month. The idea is though that you get a dozen singles through the year & they're all ready for stacking in your Wurlitzer* as they come minus a centre. Fear not though as they kindly mail you a selection of branded centre adaptors in different colours (digital links to the songs would be handy too though). [...]

"Lost in Light Rotation" b/w "Bad Connection" is available as a limited edition 7" single, out now on Fortuna POP! (UK/EU) and Magic Marker Records (USA).
This is infectious bubblegum pop with a hint of Ramones and, not uncoincidentally, a reference to Bis’ ‘This Is Fake DIY’ before it reaches its anthemic climax. It’s sugary, yes, but not tooth-rottingly twee, and a definite keeper. Flip the record and you’ll find a cover of Yazoo’s ‘Bad Connection’. Yazoo, or Yaz as the Yanks knew them, were always a bit electro-twee and, though this is catchy bleep-pop, it’s also a little bit disposable.
If you follow these pages you know I have a personal penchant for bubbling pop songs with powerful hooks, so I'm glad that Tullycraft is coming back after calling it quits several years ago. There's a quickened pace to this track, and there's not a moment that doesn't beg to be stuck in your head. Whether it's the fast vocal delivery, or the gang joining in to provide backing vocals, the tune is full of exuberant energy. You'll notice from the stream that the tune is coming to you via [...]
Every Scene Needs A Center , the brilliant LP from 2007, was the last time we heard from Seattle's Tullycraft . That was six years ago. A few years after Every Scene , the band called it quits, but the hiatus was thankfully short and they're back! Reformed anew and with some fresh tunes, the band will release Lost in Light Rotation this spring via their long-time US home Magic Marker Records (slated for a UK release on Fortuna Pop). The new LP was produced by [...]
Mi era completamente perso la notizia che erano tornati in pista i Tullycraft ! Eppure sul loro facebook lo avevano già annunciato addirittura l'estate scorsa . La band di Seattle pubblicherà in primavera un nuovo album, Lost In Light Rotation , per la storica Magic Marker in USA e per Fortuna POP! in Europa. Il disco, il primo dopo sei anni, è stato prodotto da Phil Ek (già al lavoro con Shins, Band Of Horses e Built To Spill, tra gli altri, nonché responsabile di Work degli Shout Out Louds). La title track è il [...]
Tullycraft are back! The indie pop group will be releasing Lost In Light Rotation this spring. I'm glad to see them step back into the ring; they were sorely missed during their hiatus. Tullycraft: "Lost in Light Rotation"
So we've got The Postal Service, David Bowie and Suede. And sure enough, Seattle's Tullycraft ... Read the full article at http://www.prefixmag.com/news/ twee-pop-kings-tullycraft-are- back-listen-to-their/72671/
by Bill Pearis After a hiatus that lasted almost three years, Tullycraft has begun the process of recording a new album. It's been a long time since we've recorded a record, so we're currently trying to remember how to do it. It's hard for me to imagine how many people will actually be interested in hearing a new Tullycraft album, but I'm sure we'll have fun making it. More details will follow as the process moves forward. Thanks for listening! - [ Tullycraft ] Seattle indiepoppers [...]
OH MY FUCKING GOD!!! The upcoming Tullycraft 7" track Lost in Light Rotation proves that they are gods of indie pop. Most bands slip a little after taking extended time off. Not Tullycraft. If anything, they are stronger than ever. Check out the wonderful homage to BIS embedded in this fantastic song!
