Too Good to Be True Records has some solid singles ready to go throughout next year, and our first peak is with the beloved Swedish outfit, the Slow Summits. They offer up a classic indiepop sound, albeit one with their own bits of nuance and flare. You’ve got deep vocal tones, similar to those releases by Cats on Fire that charmed your pants off. Sure, there’s some jangling here, but it’s calmed, not rushing, letting little bits of horns and backing vocals creep in from the background to add the perfect bit of texture to this tune. They always craft these tunes that fit any time of day or year, so right now seems the perfect time for this new single!

Another Ski Saigon Tune

A bit back I was hoping to point your attention towards Ski Saigon‘s debut LP, coming out in a wee bit via Too Good to Be True Records. Today, we get another glimpse at the London outfits sound, this time with a keyboard drenched pop approach. Guitars and vocals are buried beneath that electronic wash, almost drowning in the darkened sensation. Still, as much as the song can sound dense and cavernous, the vocals come out like whispers rising above a crowded city center, the words staying as faint signs of future promise. That future promise is surely the group’s debut, Ski Saigon Sees the Albatraoss, dropping on March 4th.

Ski Saigon Announce Debut LP

Man, I feel like a charmed man today, getting new music from Death of Pop earlier, and now this track from Ski Saigon to boot! The band are crafting this dense post-punk, steadied by a throbbing rhythm section that holds the track up on its back. All the while, the vocals softly whisper to you from behind this wall of shimmering guitar lines that come in and out of focus; it’s strange, feeling like a confessional of sorts shared between two confidantes, swirled about in this cavernous realm of nostalgic pop nods. Ski Saigon Sees the Albatross will be out on Too Good to Be True Records on March 4th.
