Pete Astor Shares Model Village

Somehow I missed the news of Pete Astor readying another record for Tapete Records, so I’m aiming to fix my error by sharing the new single from the former Loft/Weather Prophets songwriter. It seems like this track hints at today’s theme of coverage, with a definite push towards songs that have a certain timelessness to it. Here, you get to listen to a bounding piano line that runs like and the river through the “model village” of Pete’s song, while his voice and strum accentuate the incredible pop sensibilities he’s been rocking with his solo work. It’s the sort of songwriting that supersedes genres and generations, the track you take home to share with your parents at the next family gathering, as you all revel in just how much you all love well-worn pop music. Astor will release Tall Stories and New Religions on March 15th via Tapete.

Model Village Announce World of Carp

We hadn’t heard from Cambridge outfit Model Village since their 2015 LP, Healing Centre, but it looks as if the band are back at it, with another record up their sleeves. Lily Rose has taken over vocal duties for the entirety of this forthcoming release, and her present is more than known in the performance below; it’s the tour de force that seemingly creates the movement of this track, looping back and forth as those jagged guitar riffs aim to keep pace. Nice little backing tracks build in some textured melody, weaving in playful guitar licks and bouncing monosyllables as the group gallop to a close. Another fun tune that should force you to keep an eye out for the release of World of Carp, out on March 5th.

Sweet Indiepop from Model Village

modelvillageFeel like it’s been a short while since I’ve offered up some truly joyous indiepop tunes, so I figured it best to get back on that boat, albeit for just a post.  Model Village is another UK act with the bouncing rhythm section coated with angelic vocals.  The group just released their newest LP, You Chose These Woes, and it’s been a pleasure absorbing these melodies while staring out my work window into the sun.  If you’re afraid of the female vocal, don’t fret, as they have quite a bit of male participation throughout the record.  Give it a spin.
