Very Truly Yours official video for "Girls Tell You Secrets," out on vinyl through Cloudberry Records . Filmed on Super 8 Ektachrome at Montrose Beach in Chicago. MP3 : Girls Tell You Secrets
Get ready to overdose on cute. Dream poppers Very Truly Yours have released a new video for their track “ Girls Tell You Secrets ” from its brand-new 7” of the same name. The video takes the band on a tour of their neighborhoods, traveling – as one would expect a lush pop group to do – with balloons in tow. The band eventually frolics along a lakefront beach, releasing the balloons and jamming out. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself humming the melody all day long. La's are infectious.

Very Truly Yours (mp3): Girls Tell You Secrets via Cloudberry Records

For Fans Of is a feature that picks a popular, distinguished band and recommends similar up and coming bands. This first edition features Scottish indie-pop band Belle and Sebastian . Glasgow’s finest Stuart Murdoch and his much-beloved band brought poetic, storytelling pop with a maudlin edge to the masses. Here we explore some more offerings from the cardigan-wearing subculture in Scotland, and further afield. If you’re a loyal Belle and Sebastian fan, then we recommend that you give these a try. We would love to hear your suggestions as well. [...]

wer hier etwas länger mitliest weiß, dass ich die sage vom sommerloch hasse, ausgesprochen lächerlich finde. erstens kann sich das keiner leisten, zweitens ist immer genügend heißer scheiß am start. und ja, ich bin tatsächlich einer, der seinen email kasten leert. und zwar nicht mit dem daumen auf der löschtaste, sondern mit dem ohr an der datei. dass dieser ersttest nicht mein urteil bestimmt, klar, aber er gibt eine fahrtrichtung vor. so kann auch ein (p)fund entstehen: diese junge truppe hat neben einem grandiosen cover auch sonnen durchflutete musik am start, sie mutet etwas somnambul an, [...]

I never go around to posting anything about Michael Møller ’s performance at Charlottenborg (lack superlatives to describe the whole thing I guess), so here’s a picture instead. Had a pretty good seat me thinks! Finns Delay Trees shares a third track from their self-titled debut album. Tarantula/Holding On differs quite a lot from the guitar pop sound of the two previous promo tracks, but absolutely brilliant nonetheless. + [...]
It's June, so it must mean it's time for the obligatory Indietracks compilation album. Sadly this year it won't be released on CD in an attempt to reduce costs, meaning you'll have to burn your own discs for the long drive up. On the other hand, as it's a download only, you can pay whatever you like for it with all proceeds going to the lovely Midland Railway Centre . Every year they put up with us descending on them, so it's nice to be able to give them a little something back. [...]

Dreamy pop duo Tiny Fireflies are familiar faces within the Chicago music scene. Both Lisle Mitnik and Kristine Capua are members of the sugary sweet indie pop group Very Truly Yours . The clever group name comes from a combination of Capua and Mitnik's other side projects: Tiny Microphone and Fireflies . The duo came together to create a collection of new wave-inspired dream pop. Tiny Fireflies' new single "We Made A Pact" sparkles with every synth key and drum beat. Capua’s light as air vocals fade in and out in a [...]

Careful Q Three teams-are-breaking-camp-and-th e-Bay-Bridge-series-is-up-next -so-it's-baseball-season-squar es reasons to peg those pants and head to Panchos tonight: 1. First up is Careful Q with its breezy jangle and sighed vocals. This one's going to be easy on the ears. It's as if the Sundays fell from the clouds and decided to write smaller, poppier songs. That's a writerly way of saying that vocally Careful Q remind me of the Sundays but the songs are more intimate and personal than the ethereal haze that the Sundays [...]

One of the latest releases from Chicago cassette imprint Plustapes is the 6-track tape, Songs To Wake Up To , from Grey Ghost , a solo project from Very Truly Yours bassist Brian Griffith. Unlike the indie-pop of Very Truly Yours, Grey Ghost finds Griffith experimenting with synth loops, piano and ambient soundscapes. You can have a listen to the tape's first track, "Hot Mess," in this video from Sarah Zucker, which works as the fuzzy images and colors truly works as a counterpoint to the song's crooked loops. You can order [...]

You already know they're piercing through your epidermis and then some, straight to your heart. Very Truly Yours reminds me of a super spontaneous roadtrip to San Francisco I took many years ago with some of my awesome friends. We were eating dinner and we basically made the decision, quickly packed our stuff and made it to Golden Gate Park just in time for sunrise. Whether you want to call it twee or weepop or sunshine in your pocket, VTY has made some wonderful lazy afternoon songs. Pop it into your ipod and take [...]

The moment I opened my copy of Things You Used to Say by Very Truly Yours , I was taken back to childhood days at Grandma’s. The dusty rose and ivory color scheme of the CD case and disc (not to mention the floral pattern behind the tray) made me nostalgic for those days of rummaging through Grandma’s closet, dousing my skin in her Chanel No. 5 and wrapping myself in strings of pearls that hung from the vanity dresser. I can almost feel that rust-colored shag carpet between [...]

Es wird Zeit für etwas Twee, denn das Wochenende naht mit großen Schritten. (Wo keine Logik ist, konstruiere man sie einfach durch das Wörtchen "denn" ;-) Very Truly Yours sind ein Quintett aus Chicago, das sicherlich das eine oder andere Camera Obscura-Album in seiner Sammlung hat, jedenfalls klingen ihre zart gehauchten Songs teilweise so, als kämen sie aus diesem Belle & Sebastian-Umfeld. Nachdem sie bereits ein paar EPs herausgebracht haben, ist unlängst ihr Debütalbum «Things you used to say» erschienen, das sanft durch die Gehörgänge schwingt. (Danke an Cornelia für den Tipp!) [...]
