Bright New Indiepop Single from Alpaca Sports

Leave a comment

alpacaI’ve long been a fan of Alpaca Sports, who won me over with their early work for Dufflecoat Records, and now they’ve got a new mini-album, When You Need Me the Most, ready for your ears. In honor of the new work, they’re giving you a glimpse at what’s to come with this playful new video for fans. The song’s spectacular, and it should further push the band into the hearts of fans around the globe. I implore you to give it a listen/watch, then head over to Elefant Records for continued news on the band and their mini-album; it should be out this October.

Dufflecoat Records Update

Leave a comment

dufflecoatThe world out there for indiepoppers is tiny, so I was worried that I hadn’t heard too much from Dufflecoat Records as of late.  But, it turns out that I was a boob, and didn’t realize the label had switched a lot of their news over to Bandcamp.  So…seeing as I’m a huge pop fan, and hopefully a purveyor of such as well, I’d be remiss to not fill you in on the latest releases from the label: Exiles and Brideshead.  The latter is a collection of previous works, as well as brand new songs…so you can’t miss buying Never Grow Up.  Exiles have this new EP, I’ve Got Secrets Too.  Both are must have for pop fans, and you can stream a track from each below! Those of you that love this genre will surely find that you’ll enjoy browsing the label’s catalog…so do it to it.

Sparkling Indiepop from Palms on Fire

coverI love Sunday afternoons when the weather is perfect outside and you’ve got great indiepop to play loud on your speakers, like with this new tune from Palms on Fire.   They’ve recently released their Cars EP, which should have some sort of release via Dufflecoat Records, but you can get it now for the NYP option.  The title track is pretty delightful, offering this great bass line with a cool little female coo operating on top of the tune throughout.  It doesn’t get much better when the horns make their way into the track either.  You want something to make you feel good? Then spend your time with this tune below.

Indiepop Delight from Franny & Zooey

Leave a comment

frannyGlad to see that Dufflecoat Records are still one of the best at releasing some of the most delectable indiepop records out there.  This last week they announced that they’ve agreed to to released the Bottled Up & Ready to Go EP from Franny & Zooey.  This first single is filled with jangling guitar lines and steady drumming.  Even more surprising to me is that the duo hails from the Dominican Republic; this is not the sound I typically associate with the country, though you can’t keep pop fans down, it seems.  Enjoy yourself today.

New Tune from the Kennsingtons

Leave a comment

kensingtonsThose of you looking to make sure you’ve got your finger on point with the hippest indiepop of the world, you better keep an eye on the first few releases of 2014 from Dufflecoat Records.  The little label of love will be releasing new music from the Kensingtons, as part of a joint EP with The Rileys.  I love the warmth of the first single, as it’s got the perfect amount of ringing guitars and calming vocals that makes the genre one of my personal favorites.  Seems like we’re in for a great year from the label, which only means great things for our ears. I’ll keep you up to speed on the proper release dates.

Jangling Pop from Mumbly

Leave a comment

mumblyOk, so I admit that the jangling adjective might be a little played out, but I think it’s a pretty spot on way to approach this song from Mumbly. What’s unfortunate is that while the song is new to most fans, the band is no more.  They’ve been silent for 15 years, though this piece is finally coming to life thanks to Dufflecoat Records opting to release the Mumblybule EP. I’m not sure exactly what the release will include, nor when it will come out, but you can’t deny the infectious tunes their modern day glory.  One listen to this and you’ll be remiss that you weren’t on this sooner…at least that’s how I’m feeling as I listen.

Dufflecoat Records Signs The Salient Braves

Leave a comment

artworks-000058839981-8mgyb4-t500x500One of my favorite little UK labels, Dufflecoat Records, works really hard to give a voice to small acts all across the UK and beyond.  The label’s most recent signing is The Salient Braves, and I’m really digging what they’re working on. For one, the vocals have a small resemblance to David Gedge of the Wedding Present, so I’m always going to back that sort of thing. It’s a very British sound, with the vocals high in the mix, and the delivery seeming to work outside of the instrumentation.  Keep an eye out for the Somewhere Sordid EP in October!

Floating Pop from The Olive Shoots

Leave a comment

oliveshootsIt’s been a rough year for some of the great indie pop labels, and I had worried that Dufflecoat Records might succumb to the demands of the world.  Luckily, they’ve decided to keep doors open for now, preparing to release a couple of great acts; the first you should take notice of is The Olive Shoots.  The one-woman Swedish act has just released her Anteros EP via the label, and the lead track requires your attention today.  Vocals drift in, and the tension builds via ambient noise, just before it all comes crashing down into the realm of explosive pop.  After the crash the vocals take a bit to re-enter, but they come in strong and emotional.  Go support good music; pick up this EP today.

Quick Indie Pop Tune from Amida

Leave a comment

amidaYou gotta keep your ears to the Internet if you’re going to stay on top of all the great music coming out nowadays, but things are easy when you’ve got reliable labels like Dufflecoat Records putting out hits.  The latest release from the label is going to be the new 7″ EP from Amida, a Manchester act playing around with the poppier side of the city.  The first tune from the record is a catchy bouncer that spans just beyond the 1 minute mark, but that doesn’t mean you’re not going to feel the inherent joy from the song.  If you’re into it, support the great label by ordering the 7″ as soon as you have a spare penny or pound.

Delightful New Tune from Tripping the Light Fantastic

Leave a comment

trippingthelightI’ve been working really hard to bring this tune to you, and thanks to Tripping the Light Fantastic, I’m now able to share this incredible slice of pop music with you.  The group has recently put together a new split 7″ with Honeyheads; it’s available now courtesy of Dufflecoat Records.  I could pick a plethora of things about this song that make it stick in my head, be it the group harmonies or the random shouts of exuberance or the organ grinding in the background; I think I just am attracted to a great tune.  If you want to indulge yourself in well crafted songwriting, then let yourself get carried away in this joyous track.
