Before the weekend, I received two tiny 3″ cd-eps from the lovely Peruvian indie-pop label Susy Records. All their cds are made one by one in a small bedroom, and the designs and covers are all handmade. Really nice stuff!

Desmond Reed is the man behind the first of these EPs, with his “The Window Shopping EP”. His jangly acoustic pop songs work very good in this format, and for me at least 2 of the 3 songs will be played over and over again on my stereo. If you’re interested in both indiepop and sports (like Desmond Reed is), you should listen to the songs he made for every single player on the Boston Red Sox team.

“The actress trilogy” by The Pristines is the latest release by the label, and it features 3 quite rough recordings by the band. The Pristines have been in the business since the early 90s, and they have been true to their jangly c86-styled pop sound troughout their career.

Both these cds can be ordered via Susy Records‘ website.
