No Joy’s More Faithful was a really enjoyable slab of dreamy/gazey indie pop that came out earlier this year. Here’s a video for “Judith”, one of the more sedated tracks from the release.
Music
This song is so Sebadoh does psych rock as the Ramones. This whole album from PUNT is pretty great in fact. Give it a listen. And smile while you are at it.
Oh dear, two late posts in one week. Apologies! Until I figure out how to make my millions posting other people’s songs on this page daily, I have to continue working at an (admittedly pretty sweet) job that can involve jet lag and strange hours. I’ll get my blog game on point, starting now.
I just heard “Son A Propulsion” over at the Aquarium Drunkard last week, but it’s been stuck in my head pretty much ever since then. Turns out Cuba could get pretty funky in the late 70’s.
ALL CAPS band names are a thing. BOYTOY is touring with La Luz. They are entirely compatible on such a bill. They are a little heavier sounds but not without the surf indie pop affections. They even have some Grass is Green-esque guitars happening at times. Their new album just came out so check it out here.
In general, I find spoonerism to be more of a silly effect. But I like the sound of Cina Polada. And this is some pretty indie pop.
Whoops! Little late with my post today. Let’s all live vicariously through Madrid’s Hinds and The Parrots for a few minutes as they cover Thee Headcoats and The Almighty Defenders, respectively.
From another upcoming album. This one from Woozy on Community Records and this one has a bit of a grand sound. Very anthemic and delightful.
A friendly radio shower PSA: Protomartyr is streaming their album over at NPR, and it’s pretty goddamned good. “I Forgive You” is a track that stood out on first listen, so have yourself a listen above.
The Wimps have a new album coming out. Let’s start here and then wind our way through to when it comes out for reals.
