[CDG] Girls Names / The new life

Psychedelic Belfast natives GIRLS NAMES have released their new single through Tough Love Records, ahead of their almost- finished follow-up to 2011’s Dead To Me L.P. The hazy optimism of The New Life’s chord progression – which reveals itself amidst the endlessly recurrent cycle of three-note guitar phrases - oddly recalls Blur, whilst the incessant, almost monotonous repetition shows their more krautrock-y side, embedding the riffs firmly in the mind of the listener.

[CDG] Popstrangers / Heaven

Popstrangers are Joel Flyger, Adam Page and David Larson, three native New Zealanders who make “pop” music that’s hard-driving, punk-influenced and sonically inimitable. After releasing several singles on fabled New Zealand label Flying Nun, the band arrives with their debut album Antipodes. Recorded in the basement of a 1930's dancehall, Popstrangers’ first full-length features dissonant, claustrophobic melodies, anchored by the languid affectations of Flyger’s vocals, that bring a vintage feel to their decidedly contemporary garage rock. Channeling early Radiohead and kiwi indie bands of yore like the Gordons, 3Ds and the Chills, Antipodes further develops the band’s nuanced, distorted “pop” created and cultivated from years spent honing their craft live.

[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]

Embers - Sins unknown 

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]

Overunda - She falls to the floor

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]
