More fantastic
new indie discoveries selected for your listening pleasure, enjoy!
Dutch Barn. Our beloved
EardrumsPop again folks. They not only come out with another fantastic (and FREE!) release, the
ePop 036, but they also remind me there was a band waiting to be listened. This five piece from East London were formed from the embers of folk group Little Ray in 2011, debuting with album “
Lighter Later“ in April 2013. The record and the EPop single are
delightful trips to guitar-driven indie-rock tunes. Open spaces, sparse, folky roots, heavenly coexisting with reverb and upbeat melodies. They've been defined as a cross between
Teenage Fanclub,
Dinosaur Jr and
Stereolab. The comparison is accurate in terms of sound, but also in terms of potential.
Upset. Careful, super-indie band here. This L.A. trio, formed in 2013, is leaded by Ali Koehler, former drummer of
Vivian Girls and then Best Coast, alongside ex-Hole drummer Patty Schemel.(looks like they met over Twitter) and guitarist Jenn Prince from
La Sera. Upset's debut, "She's Gone", is out since October 29 through punk label
Don Giovanni. Any hint of what could the record sound like? Right,
pop-punk infected with hooks, channeling '90s indie-rock spirit and so ready to grab you from the ear you will think this record has been on your shelf since 20 years ago. Not to miss.
Old Lacy Bed.
Back to Japan to meet this young girls-band from Nagoya formed in 2012. As always happens (unfortunately) with Asian bands, there's not a lot of info out there, so we'll stick with what we know. Although there are some more tunes at the soundcloud, what it seems a split release with band
The Moments and song "Coastlands" included on the
Ano(t)raks "
Soon V.A." compilation from September 2012, their first proper debut might be this lovely, immediately addictive 7" single "
Little Girl" on
Dufflecoat Records, available since June. Somewhere in the middle of the
sweetest shoegaze and the
fuzzier twee-pop this three songs are just wonderful. We want more!
