Poppy Ditty from Cozy Slippers

Leave a comment

Beneath the rain in Seattle is a shimmering pop underbelly, or at least that’s what this new track from Cozy Slippers would have you believe. The band drop this new single today, hanging jangling guitar lines out in the air while the duel vocal threat of Barbara and Sarah supply the required amount of melody. That melodic element almost hints at the realm of dream pop, accented by a seemingly smoky mix in the studio. The trio will release their Postcards EP via the reliable Jigsaw Records on April 20th.

Why Not Listen to Anthony Rochester

Leave a comment

I’ve always admired the work that Jigsaw Records has done, and I’m really stoked on their latest release from Anthony Rochester. Honestly, it’s low-key pop with perfect execution; it’s as endearing as it is dreamy. Opener “Sing us a Seaside Song” works twinkling guitar lines over minimal percussion, or get into the light-hearted side of pop music with “Cat food etc.” Regardless of which song you land on, you’re going to be rewarded with tunes that delight time and time again; Anthony Rochester Sings for You is available now.

Classic Vibes from Popincourt

Leave a comment

Tired of the modern musical landscape? Same. So why not take a trip with Popincourt, the French songwriter brandishing his own brand of power-pop…with just the faintest hints of Weller or Costello. The guitar chords chop right through from the get-go, stuttering at first, waiting to unleash their hook when united with a bouncing organ line. It’s almost like we’re inside some mod-club, shaking about whilst Popincourt serenades us all. Kick off your shoes, jitter about and feel yourself free with this catchy number. Look for it to appear on the band’s new record, slated for a Spring release on Jigsaw Records.

Another Number from Half Forward Line

Leave a comment

The first track we heard from Half Forward Line (the new project from So Cow/Oh Boland members) you got what you wanted, or expected: a solid power pop outing that soothed. But, on the flipside comes their powerful new single, employing buzzsaw guitars and a pummeling pace that creates instant fury. The call and response vocals are forceful, providing a larger “punk” vibe than we figured, especially when they turn to a fading growl in your speakers. When the band formed, they promised each other to record and write as quickly as possible (2 days!), leaving us with The Back of Mass album; it’s a diverse listen influenced by the individual tastes of the 3 members…and it’s now available through Jigsaw Records.

Jigsaw ReIssues Kaveh Kanes Capital Album

Leave a comment

Dream pop/indiepop fans hopefully have heard of this out of print album by Kaveh Kanes; it was originally released on Kolibri Rekords a few years ago. Lucky for us all, Jigsaw Records are giving us a chance to get it back in our hands. This little gem is filled with cascading guitar lines and atmospheric touches that are perfect for putting your head on your pillow and drifting into the day. There’s a little sample to get you in the mood below, but you can go over HERE and stream the release in its entirety, in case you hadn’t heard of it!

A New Song from the Occasional Flickers

Leave a comment

Listen up fans of Belle and Sebastian, and the like; the Occasional Flickers are the new cool kids of Scotland’s pop underground. They employ a similar style, though more straight to the point jangling pop, as opposed to the more grandiose orchestral moves of their forefathers. The finest touch is that you can tap your toes with this rhythm section, driving the track forward as the vocal harmony carries you, the listener. Their new full length, Sleep and the Time in Between is available now via Jigsaw Records, if you want your fancy tickled.

New Music from Half Forward Line

Leave a comment

Well, it’s all going to be new music from Half Forward Line, as the group is a brand new project from members of So Cow and Oh Boland. This tune kicks off with cutting guitar chords, pushing toward power-pop stardom, enhanced by a bubbling bass line working under the mix. On the vocals, they seem to have more melody than what one would expect (thinking of past projects), which actually makes the track all the more endearing. It’s guitar pop of the best sort, and there’s eleven other gems waiting for you if you grab their debut, The Back of Mass, over at Jigsaw Records.

Japanese Bedroom Pop from The Sky Mata

Leave a comment

There are some labels that go above and beyond to unearth gems, and those familiar with Jigsaw Records will surely give the label its due in that regard. Today they just dropped two delicious bits of bedroom pop from Japan’s The Sky Mata…though the tracks are from a bit ago. The project just dropped a brand new album (the band’s 3rd) in August, so check that out; however, our focus should be on revisiting the First Album, which is seeing a reissue via Jigsaw, and deservedly so. It’s an album filled with these quirky elements of pop you’re not likely to find in your mainstream listening. Go check out the whole album below…and grab it from the label HERE.

Check This New Shrug Life Tune

Leave a comment

Irish act Shrug Life have been at it for some time, though they’re just now getting around to dropping their debut full-length. Today they drop their jagged pop number “First World Problems,” a playful discussion on the trappings of modern day living. Energetic and catchy at once, it’s hard to see anyone not enjoying themselves while blasting this through their speakers. You’ll hear remnants of Weezer with a sharper edge, and whole lot of nerdiness. Turn up and tune in; they’ll release their debut on September 29th via Jigsaw Records and Little L.

You’re Going to Love Joy Cleaner

Leave a comment

As always, Jigsaw Records quietly releases another gem into the world: Joy Cleaner‘s Total Hell. This brand new album is filled with fuzzy guitar riffs a la Teenage Fanclub or GVB, but there’s an innate playfulness that gives a lifting spirit to listeners. When you boil it down, it’s really just a great collection of guitar pop songs that slip into your subconscious as you attempt to sing along hours later. My favorite track at the moment is “Disposable Outcome,” but I haven’t skipped a single track, so that’s saying something! You’re free to grab the new album over at Jigsaw.
