Da PERSISTENT MALAISE (5/11/2012 Faux Discx)
Melody’s Echo Chamber are a Parisian neo-psych group who, after releasing a couple of songs over the summer, are set to drop their debut Lp this month [...] A liltingly melodic masterpiece created around a time-warped guitar line ripped straight from the ghost of 60′s psych-pop I Follow You is at once fragile and satisfyingly visceral. What’s most impressive though, in a song of many varied highlights, are Melody Prochett’s vocals which with their sun-dappled innocence and effortless melody, seem an ode to some nostalgic vision of endless, rose-tinted summers.

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]
It's the debut single from Palma Violets, four London chancers who got snapped up by Rough Trade, 'Best Of Friends' has been described as sounding like The Liber-Clash, or Echo & The Bunnymen shooting the shit with Black Lips, or the Modern Lovers fighting Julian Casablancas in some 1978-meets-2001 timewarp.This single is released on October 22 via Rough Trade. It's a double-A, with the still-not-online 'Last Of The Summer Wine' the other track. [NME]
Manchester's Embers create deeply cinematic music, the kind capable of soundtracking thriller car chases or chaotic torture scenes. After a brief flurry of online hype, the band have announced details of their debut single. 'Tunnel Vision' / 'Sins Unknown' gets a 100 run vinyl release on 24th September, self-released by the band. Each copy comes with a unique digital download code [This is fake DIY]
A sound that will remind you of being 14 and having a soft spot for everything that Bright Eyes had done whilst being a little confused by why people gave so much of a fuck about Radiohead. [Lost Lost Lost]
