Corvair ~ Sunday Runner

Corvair are a Portland, Oregon-based group comprising of Heather Larimer (Eux Autres) and Brian Naubert (Ruston Mire), who between them have recorded or performed on more than twenty different albums. This terrific slice of retro pop is a taster from their forthcoming self-titled LP, largely conceived in isolation during the Covid shutdown of spring 2020. Releases 19th February '21 on Wiaiwya in the UK, and I can't wait!

The Blue Herons ~ Go On

Reminiscent of Club 8's early singles or Red Sleeping Beauty (the band), this was an enchanting find: fresh and sweet janglepop. 

   

The vocalist, Gretchen DeVault, sounded very familiar, so I did some digging: turns out she was a member of indiepop's The Icicles, whose Snowman Song is one of my favourite wintry-themed tracks of all time! ☃️❄️
