In 2009, we were exposed to some terrific music from lots of new, promising bands. As a whole, the year went very well with albums from Animal Collective , Phoenix , Porcupine Tree , Engineers , and Camera Obscura which littered most year-end lists. On top of that though, we were blessed with some gems that didn't have as much acclaim as I would hope. One of those acts was a quiet, secluded band from Finland named Burning Hearts . The band is made up of the lovely, talented Jessika Rapo and [...]

Para começar o ano de 2012 numa atmosfera calma, com óptima companhia e após uma noitada valente, nada como capturar os sonhos outonais e intimistas dos escoceses Belle & Sebastian. Não fui buscar nada recente da banda, ou seja, nada do último álbum 'Write About Love' nem nada dos seus lúdicos e por vezes tortuosos singles. Queria mesmo ouvir algo mais do passado e penso que "There's Too
Весной 2012 года у милейшей тви-поп команды Allo Darlin' выйдет альбом «Europe», и перед тем, как следующий год начнётся с сингла «Capricornia», у нас есть приятная возможность послушать песню «Talluah» в сольном исполнении вокалистки Elizabeth Morris.
Странные вещи происходят. Вот, вроде, записи выходят, но всё в какой-то суете. Ну и не то, что бы не те. Эпоха больших альбомов закончилась и ростовская группа Motorama , укрепившая своё место на передовой молодёжной музыки России альбомом «Apls», переходит к выпуску отдельных синглов. Не изменив почерку, ребята уверенно вышли на тви-поп бульвар с двумя новыми песнями – «Empty Bed» и «Far Away From the City». Рецепт примерно такой же, как рекомендует сервис Drinkify – две части хорошего бурбона, столько же кокосового молока и десять частей хороших, блин, песен.
Los Angeles quartet Stone Darling just released a 7" that really needs your attention. The ladies of Stone Darling bring a sound that instantly recalls a blend of 90's K-Records-style twee with the swing of 50's-era girl groups. Lump that together with a bit of modern-era Dum Dum Girls and you've got a feel for what this single offers. Both tracks "I Stopped Missing You Today" and "Angeline" are great catchy pop songs that are well worth your time. Stone Darling is just plain good for you. Think of this record as the vegetables your mom [...]
Лондонская тви-поп команда Allo Darlin' выпустила в прошлом году замечательный дебютный альбом. Слава богу, они не останавливаются на достигнутом и выпускают семидюймовку, посвящённую недооцененному инди-ветерану, соседу по лейблу Fortuna Pop! и просто замечательному фолк-рок музыканту Darren Hayman . На одной стороне – песня про Даррена, на другой – кавер его песни про Wu Tang Clan. Два фунта за файлы, четыре – за пластинку. Darren by Allo Darlin'
Tweet I read somewhere recently that the average person goes through life having swallowed circa 42 winged objects. We've all had that experience of cycling in the sunshine when the peace is broken by a bluebottle down the throat. Not nice, but in the case of Galway's the Depravations it seems they've swallowed an entirely different species, the fluttering Brian Wilson from what I can make out. 'Summer Rain' is delightfully twee and will probably be gone from our heads by the [...]
Tweet There was a time when I could remember every song featured on this blog, but no more. Might be a result of archives going back to September 2005 or it could be just plain old (!) agedness. How else could you explain having to double check whether Young Man had appeared here before. And he had, only a few months back – feck that is worrying. Well anyway, we've fallen for his twee delights all over again. Some chancer to try [...]
The Pains of Being Pure at Heart son una banda indie pop de Nueva York creada en 2007 y actualmente compuesta por cinco miembros: Kip Berman (guitarra y voz principal), Christoph Hochheim (guitarra), Alex Naidus (bajo), Peggy Wang (teclados y voz secundaria), Kurt Feldman (batería). Inicialmente, el grupo lo componían Alex, Kip y Peggy y utilizaban una caja de ritmos pero enseguida se dieron cuenta de la necesidad de incoporar un batería y Kurt se unió al grupo. Posteriormente y [...]
Wer hat denn nun eigentlich den Indiepop erfunden? Und was haben die ganzen Bands in 2011 noch mit twee zu tun? Wenn ich mich einmal so richtig langweilen sollte, dann werde ich in einer eigenen Radio-Show die große Geschichte des NME-Mixtapes "c863 (eine Bezeichnung, die später zu einem Genre wurde...) aufrollen und von der Entstehung des Indiepops erzählen. Und ich bin mir sicher, mir könnte der große Wurf gelingen. Aber erst einmal spiele ich euch The June Brides vor, die als der große Einfluss auf "Twee" und "c863 galten und gelten. Eigentlich paradox, hatten sie es [...]
Tweet With a blitzkrieg opening salvo of kick and snare, Gold-Bears signal their intent: they're not here to mess around. On the opening track to their new LP (out now on Slumberland), this Atlanta group cranks up the energy and doesn't bother to look back. At times anthemic, 'Record Store' combines acoustic guitar licks, distortion, and cymbal crashes to eke out a place at the three-way intersection of indie rock, pop, and punk on the sonic map. The band keeps the energy up during [...]
В новом клипе Belle & Sebastian встечаются с трудностями и невозгодами дорожной жизни. Режиссёр - Paul Fegan.
Hired Hands are an excellent Dublin band that write breezy, jazzy, folky, syncopated, gorgeous, and, at times, touching indie-pop tunes. Sounding a little like a cross between Van Morrison, LAKE, and the poppier side of Dirty Projectors, they are an organic breath of fresh air in an over-produced, over-processed, over-hyped indie landscape. "The Quay Wall" is the band at their best, with layers of guitar that gleefully bounce off of each other, drums that skip like a six year old girl, and horns that coat the whole song like butter over a cinnamon roll. The vocals are stunning as well, [...]
Это лето будет сложно представить без прекрасного тви-дрим-поп трио Seapony . Вот-вот вышел альбом « Go With Me » и мы уже можем насладиться клипом на незамысловатую, но крайне обаятельную «Go Away». Вы скажете «Теннис», а я скажу – «Морские Пони»!
Freshly signed to Mute, UK's boy-girl duo Big Deal got me hooked with just one simple yet brilliant track. "Homework", their debut single, is a pristinely beautiful acoustic track, very much in the same vein of Kings Of Convenience. It's the perfect song for a lazy spring afternoon. The gorgeously-shot video certainly helps, too. I [...]
I was sent this remix for Acid House Kings' new single "Would You Say Stop" by Labrador a couple days ago, along with a Foxbase Alpha name-check. All I have to say is the reference was spot-on. Invisible Twin has somehow recaptured that early 902s Saint Etienne sound lovingly. Plus I'm pretty sure this is [...]
It aims for old skool Belle & Sebastian and while it doesn't quite get there I'd certainly take it over the new school equivalent. The lead singer doesn't look unlike Stuart Murdoch too and the fact that they come from Stockholm means that the Mare's 'I'm So Happy' was always going to be appearing into our hearts at some stage. Of course it's entirely twee, the constituent parts are present and accounted for, namely the shameless glockenspiel, the flirtatious brass and the obligatory set of fey boy vocals that give the impression that life really is for the fun you [...]
Клип на, пожалуй, лучшую песню дуэта Tennis был снят режиссёром Ian Perlman на винтажную камеру Bolex H-16 REX-3 . Яхта, шестидесятые и документально е подтверждение хорошо проведённого отпуска.
Acid House Kings es una banda de indie pop y twee-pop originaria de Estocolmo , Suecia . Fundada en 1991 por Joaquín Ödlund (miembro de Poprace , Doble Dan, y Starlet) y los hermanos Niklas ( Red Sleeping Beauty ) y Johan Angergard ( Club 8 , The Legends , Poprace y uno de los dueños del sello discográfico Labrador ).Firman por el sello alemán Marsh Marigold publican su [...]
