Back with our
discoverer series with a trio of indiepop finds ready to bring you the latest slices of summer sun as well as being your cousy companion for the Fall season we hope is arriving soon (if Global Warming allows).
Check them out!
Mini Dresses. Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, although the origins of
the band have to be traced in the summer of 2012, at the home recording project of Lira Mondal and Caufield Sching in Austin, Texas. But after moving East and recruiting Luke Reed on drums, the band got their current shape, beginning a pretty steady flow of singles and EP, as well as opening slots for popular acts like
Deerhunter, Weyes Blood, and Blog favourites like
Fear of Men,
Chastity Belt,
Dick Diver or
Tacocat. First full length, a compilation of
tunes from the aforementioned earlier works, appeared this summer, with the
self-titled album following this September, out via
Joy Void Records. Dreampop meeting bedroom pop, or indiepop enveloped in haze and reflective moods, with occasional excursions to jangle pop or experimental boundaries,
here's your soundtrack for the Fall.
Baby! Let me introduce you to the world of Kaley Honeycutt, a really young (she's below 25, my goodness!) Orlando
musician now based in Boston, which started to make some noise around the Blogosphere last year while sharing some of their
tunes, but who has taken by assault this 2017 with her first two releases: the debut EP, '
Pick Me' , out in April, followed in August by the summery first full-length '
Sunny, F.L.', out via
Yellow K Records. Über catchy, between jangle and surf pop bittersweet tunes, packed with these sun kissed vibes and
immediate hook melodies, but also some biting, rockier punch soaked in reverb.
Not to be missed!
Sea Blite. One of the mightiest things about music is getting lost among "connections". You know, when discovering a band brings you to another, and then another and etc, etc. That's the case with
this combo from San Francisco, formed in early 2016 (according to their
Facebook, little info out there), found thanks to the SF Pop Fest and our previous discovery of the great
Rat Fancy. With a line-up that includes former members of
Wax Idols, Primary Colours or Dirty Cupcakes, their first release, out this June in the form of a
self-titled EP you can physically grab on tape from
Death Records, is fated to be listed among
this humble Blog's best-of-year ranks. Four jangle pop gems echoing
vintage pop sounds and the spirit of the likes of
Tiger Trap, Go Sailor or my beloved
Arts & Leisure (see? more connections).
Instant crush!
