Roller Derby Shares Whatever Works

We’re working towards the weekend, yea? Well, I love to maybe sort of slink my way into with a sultry bit of pop, like this charming number from German band Roller Derby. It would certainly be hard to listen to Phline Meyer’s voice and not draw similarities to the likes of Alvvays or Camera Obscura. I love how those vocals seem perfectly matched up to the dreamier churn of the vocals that keep creeping through my speakers here. Oh, and you think they don’t know how to be playful? Just wait ’til the song’s latter half when those handclaps come join the fray to keep us all bobbing are heads.

New Indie Pop from Tripping the Light Fantastic

Man, this band is ridiculously lovely.  You know my affinity for all things indie pop, and lately, Cloudberry Records, so it’s no surprise that the Hamburg group, Tripping the Light Fantastic are making my indie pop day.  They’ve got a single coming out on the label sometime soon, but my discovery allowed me to go back in time and revisit the group’s older work.  It’s been awhile since they’ve put anything out, but if it sounds as good as this, that doesn’t matter.  That opening jangle in the guitar building into the bright explosion of the vocals hooked me immediately, and I’m sure it’s going to be doing the same thing for you!
