Fika Recordings Welcome Palomica

Leave a comment

honeydewFika Recordings already has a decent stable of great acts (Stanley Brinks, Sally Shapiro), but adding Palomica to the fold just upped the ante a bit. Bouncing pop music never sounded so good in the morning, and the youthful spirit of the song has left a grin on my face for the twenty minutes. This song features a conversation between a male and a female, trading their perspectives, filled with fruit imagery. This single will be featured on the group’s second album, Petito, which should be out via the label later on in the year.

More New Music from Tres Oui

Leave a comment

tresRemember that time when we helped put out the first Literature LP? That was awesome. So, we’ve kept close relations with the band, especially with their Austin based side-project Tres Oui (featuring Nate and Seth). They just recently uploaded a gem of an indiepop tune via the Office Series for Unblinking Ear Records. It’s washed in a nice coat of synths, washing over their cutting guitar chords. It seems like the perfect tune for performance, which if you’ve caught the band live, is exhilarating as Nate always takes complete ownership of the stage. Keep and eye out folks.

Bubblegum Lemonade Brighten the Pop Scene

Leave a comment

bubblegumBubblegum Lemonade are no stranger to these pages, those its been a while since we’ve heard from the group. There’s something that the group have perfected, be it the casual ring of the guitars or the balanced approach between every note; it’s sincere pop music that’s absolutely inescapable. Press play and you’ll hear a song that transfers you back to the days of the purity of pop music…no little tactics, not little twists, just the best songwriting you’ll hear this week (in my opinion). They’ll be releasing their Beard on a Bike EP on July 1st via the highly esteemed Matinee Recordings.

Brand New Music from Math and Physics Club

Leave a comment

mathI really love this band. I guess you can file them under indiepop, but I feel sometimes that that minimizes the band’s sound…you can simply label it great pop music…in my book. They’re working with Fika Recordings and Matinee to release a collection of rarities and b-sides, but also tossing out this brand new tune, as endearing and lovely as ever. A very limited vinyl edition will be released on June 24th, and this is your chance to fall in love with one of the greatest bands you might have overlooked. Enjoy this new one from Math and Physics Club,and be sure to grab In This Together.

Fresh Indiepop from Stephen’s Shore

Leave a comment

I’ve been down and out with the weather the last few days, so it’s great to be back, and what better way to make my splash than to bring you this indiepop gem from Stephen’s Shore. Shimmering guitars turn in your ears, and there’s just a hint of haze coating the vocals as they swirl through the rest of the mix. You want a precise bit of great indiepop? You’re not going to find a better one this week…at least until I do. Look for this track on a new 7″ coming out this summer from Cloudberry Records.

New to Me: The Crystal Furs

Leave a comment

crystalfursWhile all my Internet friends were raving about the amazing time they had at NYC Popfest (still jealous) they also tossed me a nod towards The Crystal Furs…a Ft. Worth based indiepop act. They’re fairly new to the scene, and seeing as our love of indiepop is always going strong, I’m really stoked to have another band to fawn over, let alone one from Texas. They recently tossed out an EP titled the Pentacon Sessions, recorded while the band was still working on their sound and name. I figured music world is slow today, so why not share it with you all today. Stream below, and look for more from The Crystal Furs.

Brand New Indiepop from The Salient Braves

Leave a comment

salientIt’s been a few years since we’ve been able to bring you anything new from The Salient Braves, but I’m sitting here smiling, letting the band’s indiepop vibes wash over me this morning. They’re set to release their new EP, They Must Have Seen Me Coming next week, and they’ve tossed us a few tracks to help encourage your listening. The EP’s title track has that traditional indiepop sound, ringing guitars circling the song’s central melody. They take a more casual approach on the second track offered, settling into the groove of the song immediately while you wait for the warm of the melodies to sing up in the track’s mix. Look for the EP next Friday via Broken Down Records.

Pale Lights Are Back with New EP

Leave a comment

pale_lights_may_15Those living in the indiepop realm should have known this was coming. Pale Lights have been hinting at new music for some time via their social media outlets, and it’s finally here…thank goodness. I tried to pick a favorite song to put out there, but it’s changed every time I listen to the tracks. “Mother Cries” sounds like early psychedelic pop from the late 60s, while “Alone in this Room” rings of the more modern indie fare I adore. Each track is great, and fulfills on the promise the group displayed in their Before There Were Pictures LP from 2014. Take a listen, enjoy yourself and grab a copy from the band when it’s released this Friday!

New Hit from Mercury Girls

Leave a comment

mercurySo this track hit a few days ago on the Interweb, but it deserves some more space, even if we have to toss out the disclaimer that we kinda sorta know these guys. Still, the rise of Mercury Girls has been somewhat meteoric, building buzz with just a few demos. Those had great promise, but the new 7″, from which this song comes, is fulfilling all your indiepop needs. On this song, there’s a little bit of haze thrown on the vocal, making the track seemingly noisier than its A-Side counterpart. It’s the perfect foil, with one side having a little bit more darkness in contrast to the pristine exuberance. If this is the start of something, it’s the start of something good. Grab it now from Slumberland Records.

Did You Hear the New Soda Fountain Rag?

Leave a comment

sodafountainragDid you? Did you hear it? We Were Never Being Boring just released the new album from Norway’s Soda Fountain Rag, and it’s a delightful listen, if you’re into great indiepop tunes. I think one of the reasons I immediately found myself attracted to the tunes was the clever and playful opener “Love Song for the Geek,” but I like the fact that things get turned into a softer tone later on, especially with tracks like “Oh, Oh.” It hits all the right indiepop notes, and that carries a lot of weight on this computer.The label is releasing Extra Lifeon a super-limited run, so fall in love, and grab it, if you’re inclined.
