Tweet Underused Records and Hi54Lofi Records will release a folky gem in December, “Little Notes”, a collaboration between two of my favourites, Tiny Ruins and a Singer of Songs. Some of you may remember Hollie Fullbrook from Tiny Ruins’ amazing vocals on EardrumsPop’s compilation “Between Two Waves”, where she participated as Pix & Hollie. This new EP features 6 stunningly beautiful songs, most of them with Hollie’s vocals in front, surrounded by acoustic guitars, subtle strings and an atmosphere worth … →
Tweet The Very Most have a new EP out these days, “Patricia”. It features 4 wonderful popsongs, including the sweetest version of The Pixies’ “Here Comes Your Man” you can ever think of. Both the title-track and their tribute to Jonathan Richman, named “Jonathan Richman” , are among the best I have heard from the band. Really, really good songs. The one minute long ukulele-track “Gleaming Gleam” is nice enough, but easier to forget than the other songs. This is … →
Tweet The Indonesian indiepop-band Sharesprings have a new single out these days on HeyHo! records. This is the band’s first official single-release, although there have been several songs by them circulating around the internet earlier. The two songs, “Jasmine” and “I Love To See You (Daydreaming Me)”, are some of the more focused songs I have heard from this band so far, and both are really strong pop-songs. Their sound is somewhere between the jangle pop of Sarah records, The … →
Tweet Wow, I love this song and video! It’s the lead track “Chandeliers” from Summer Fiction‘s new, free single, which is available for download on Bandcamp now. It features 2 really good songs + a demio version of “Chandeliers”. My favourite is actually the second song on the single, the cool and laid-back “To come back new”. Summer Fiction is the moniker of Bill Ricchini, and his full length album will be released on the 30th November.The video is made … →
Tweet DOWNLOAD: http://www.eardrumspop.com/2010/11/20/epop009-baffin-island/ (We’re told that the download-version sound MUCH better than the Soundcloud-stream, so you’re hereby adviced to download instead of streaming). Two bands from two different parts of the world have joined forces to give you the next free single in our digital singles series at EardrumsPop. The Very Most from Boise, Idaho, USA, and The Hermit Crabs from Glasgow, Scotland, have collaborated via the internet to make this single. Baffin Island, the name of their project, is … →
Tweet UK artist Ralegh Long will self-release his debut single "Shtick" officially on November 22, but you can already now get it for a “pay what you want”-price on Bandcamp. The EP is also available in physical format, but it’s limited to 5 (FIVE!) copies, with exclusive artwork. To get the physical version, you have to make a bid on ebay (link on his bandcamp-page). It’s the second track on the single that is my favourite. "Final range" reminds me … →
Tweet Anthony Rochester is an artist we have followed for several years, and we had one of his songs, “Special Payment Option”, on our “A Good Crop” compilation a couple of years ago. The Australian artist has released two very good albums earlier, “Music for Librarians” and “Music for in the Spaceship”, and now he has a new album available. It’s called “Hot Hits ‘96”, and features 12 good songs, full of the warmth, wit and sense of melody we … →
Tweet The Orchids are back again with a new album on the lovely label Pebble Records, “The Lost Star” (their fifth album, and their second since they reformed). I usually hate it when my favourite bands from the old days reform, – the result is usually crap, – but I absolutely love the reformed The Orchids. They have kept their old self, but have managed to develop their sound and songs in a good way. The new album is full … →
Tweet Hong Kong in The 60s will be releasing their album on Proper Songs early next year, but while we wait for it, we can enjoy the new free EP, “Places”, which was released today. It’s a real goodie, with 8 mostly instrumental songs, – one of them a remix of their song “Disintegration” by The Advisory Circle. HK60s and The Advisory Circle released a brilliant single together earlier this year on Ghost Box, and if you haven’t got it … →
