Another Sunday full of amazing
new indie proposals for you ears only, enjoy !
The Julie Ruin. We start with a NYC quintet formed in 2010 and leaded by
Kathleen Hanna,
riot grrrl myth, feminist activist and former lead singer of the seminal bands of like Bikini Kill and Le Tigre. As a matter of fact, Hanna released a solo album entitled
the Julie Ruin in 1998, but until 2010 the project didn't acquire its final, full band incarnation, with a first performance arriving that December. In 2012, they released the song "Girls Like Us, and the debut album, "Run Fast" is out since September. As expected, the album is
fire and fun, vital and tough. The B-52 fuelled by the punk sharpness and wisdom of a 20 years spanning and honest career. Welcome back, Kathleen, we needed you!
The Meaning of Life. Still in NYC to meet a Brooklyn-based
trio, born through an ad in 2012 and creating their only release to date, "Play Fuego" EP, during that summer, preceded by the advance single "
Laura V.". The release, that you can still grab (name your price) at
their bandcamp is an
exciting blend of dream pop with the more melodic version of shoegaze, where the layers of reverb and noise doesn't attempt to bury the thrilling vocals of Marta DeLeon, which imo recalls to my beloved
Beth Orton, but instead propelling her to wide, cinematic, and haunting spaces.
Trick Mammoth. Only two songs, but I already know I have found a band to love (thanks to the great
Just Music that I Like blog for the recommendation). Hailing from Dunedin, New Zealand, they formed in 2012, and after some
late-year demos, the trio of Adrian Ng, Millie Lovelock and Sam Valentine recorded their first full album in mid July of 2013, which is entitled "
Floristry" and will be out in late November via Fishrider Records but... only in NZ! We Europeans will have to wait until February 2014 through
Occultation Recordings! That's unfair, that's a tragedy! Judging by the mind blowing first single "
Delphine (With a Purpose)/Pinker Sea" available at their bandcamp the wait is going to be excruciating... Immediate but intriguing indiepop, delicate (Millie's voice is disarming) and uplifting.
Love at first hear. Want the record now!
