Another fresh mailbox delivery from Matinée Recordings is this brand new EP from our Seattle darlings MAPC. A faithful follow-up to their-still recent- debut album . From the suave "Baby I'm yours" to the mannered "Nothing really happened", from the swaying "In this together" to the breezy closer "Do you keep a Diary", cheering overall feeling guaranteed... => Math and Physics Club : Do you keep a Diary
The Lucksmiths : Spring a Leak (Matinée recordings) "A collection of b-sides, rarities and other treasures of the deep"

A Smile and a Ribbon : The Boy I wish I never met (Shelflife) Relaunched Shelflife staples are gratifying us with this refreshing debut album from the swedish duo, reminding me a lot of Language of Flowers (how strange !!), same kind of Heavenly charm, same airy vocals but with more clappings and even several electronic intrusions. Warning : repeated listening will borrow your heart ! => A Smile and a Ribbon : The Boy I wish I never met

Souvenir : S/T EP ( Jabalina 1999) Amongst all what those "Spanish Francophile bands" ( Les très bien ensemble , Plastic d'amour , Souvenir ) have achieved to date, this Souvenir eponym debut EP lies, to my eyes, on a pedestal. From the twee-minded "Belles-de-jour" the to the Beach Boys reprise "Ne dis pas", from the yé yé sounding "Au bord du soleil" to the beatbox-driven "La femme aux mille visages", premonitory of their recent issue "64", this is just the perfect way of starting a pop career...

Jens Lekman : Night falls over Kortedala (Service)
Plastic Operator : Different Places (Fine Day Records) No electro effects escalation for the Belgo-Canadian duo on its debut album, just simple likeable electro pop anthems, sung with a charming flemish accent (Pieter Van Dessel), that go straight to the heart. Of course, difficult not to think of Postal Service or Styrofoam but, as we said, the main relevance here is to be found in the infectious melodies, from the old single " Folder " to the dancefloor-friendly "Singing all the time" or the more introspective " Couch" and "The Pleasure is mine". A [...]

Well yeah it did exist and it was mmm...not bad at all !! Nathalie : My Love won't let you down (1983 - Belgium) This was a huge hit in Belgium and France and the couplets originally were sung in French. Except for the singing, this sounds a bit like Human League...Nathalie also made a duet with Plastic Bertrand called "L'amour OK", but the song was not OK...She's is now successfully working in the prêt-à-porter field [...]
The Bridal Shop : From Seas EP (autoproduced)
Sucrette : C'est si bon (autoproduced) "Sucrette" in french is used to designate those horrible artificial sweeteners with barbarian names... But Sucrette , this cute duo from Kyoto, formed of Shiho on - sweet helium high - vocals and Hidetaka Okuda on programs and instruments, is everything but barbarian...Like the splendid Retro Machida cover illustration leads to suppose, only pure modernism and innocence to be found here, a sort of whirling soup of french pop, bossa-nova, indie and pico pico, reminding some essays of fellow bands like Hi-Posi or 800 cherries...Prends [...]
A1. Comment fais-tu A2. Mieux vaut tard que jamais B1. Quelle foule, quelle foule! B2. Où va le vent In the yé yé times, being elected as "Mademoiselle Age Tendre" (from the eponym well-known teen French magazine) was a synonym of instantaneous recognition. In the case of Elsa Leroy, elected in 1965, this led to the immediate release of a charming and unique EP on the AZ label. [...]
Little Name : How to Swim and Live ( Sleepy Records ) When we first came accross Little Name songs on Indiepages demo section one year ago, we instantly fell under the spell of those catchy tunes and simple love/life stories. Sound comparisons with any contemporary glaswegian acts or any ancestral liverpoolian band may have their sense although we're not talking about a proper band here, we're talking about one man : Lee Barker aka Leebo, the type of guy who was born with this abnormal DIY ubiquity !! After [...]
Luna Parker : "Félin pour l'autre" LP (1988- Barclay) French duo Luna Parker ( Rachel Ortas and Eric Tabuchi, former members of new wave outfit Tokow Boys) arose like a salutary fresh breeze in the french charts sky in 1986 with its anthem " Tes états d'âme Eric ", a genious mixture of mindlessness, trivial puns, exotica beats and killing melody. After 3 more singles, came their one and only LP "Félin pour l'autre" in 1988, which, despite some typical 80's tics, abounds with true pop pearls...The album has never been [...]
