[Indie for Dummies] Fun Adults / Sap solid



Fun Adults - Sap solid 

Just as a descriptive phrase of its own, “Sap Solid” makes for a nice explanation of UK four-piece Fun Adults’ style of pop, where sentimental acoustic guitar noodling meets woodsy electronic percussion as sturdy as the 200-year-old Leeds barn it was recorded in (literally! they restored the space themselves!). And as a debut single—out Oct 15th via Tough Love—the song makes for an encouraging and intriguing introduction. Smooth as a wet bar of soap. [The FADER]

[Indie for Dummies] GRMNL / Coral



GRMNL - Coral 


Born in Kyoto, Japan and raised in southern California, 19-year-old Yoodoo Park aka GRMLN makes sweet dream pop that seems perfectly suited to driving with windows down alongside a picturesque Santa Cruz shoreline. It’s got a unspoiled earnestness (as well as a literalness with tracks like “Patio”) and a studied, pleasant jangle that’s hard to argue with, even if your current location is more penned in office than wide open swaths of sand. GRMLN’s new EP will be out October 23rd on Carpark.[The Fader]

[Indie for dummies] Rangleklods / Young and dumb



 

 Rangleklods - Young and dumb


Rangleklods's work was initially sketched out in home country Denmark, but became greatly colored by moving to Berlin in early 2010, where routines were forgotten and the vast and eclectic scene sought out. Rangleklods's sound consists of recorded instruments and analogue gear alongside purely digital and intensely programmed patterns intertwining into audioscapes ranging from minimal to 'Wall of Sound'. Both in that regard and composition-wise Rangleklods points just as much backwards towards Pet Sounds and Doors as it does forwards, animated by ie. James Holden and The Field.

you owned the crowd the moment
you stepped through the door into teenage awe
i hid my lust in cold hands
as you told a friend about your discontents
i pretended not to care at all
browsed through posters on the walls
trying to find a courage i knew i didn’t possess
/
got drunk and lost attention
so i jumped a bit when i saw you sit
right next to me and though we didn’t
share a single word i felt weirdly heard
/
by the girl i thought i loved
god i was so young and dumb
where are you now and who could you be talking too?
/
eventually I did what i’ve done ever since then
explained my state without hope, turned and got far away
forgot about her in weeks i’d found somebody else
to rest my nervous eyes upon concealing myself
/
all these girls i thought i loved
guess i’m just as young and dumb
all these girls i thought i loved
i’m tired of always giving up
and that’s why i only do girls i barely just like
/
the reason i want you
is because i can’t have you
it’s because i can’t have you
that’s the reason i want you
