Augustine ~ Surface

Just a little snippet from when I went to see Augustine at Hootananny in Brixton this month. He was absolutely amazing. It was hot, loud and packed to the rafters, as every good gig should be!

Majorette ~ Forever Starts Tuesday EP

Hallo music lovers! Happy Sunday to you. 

I would like to make a public service announcement: this EP is incredible and you should listen to it right now! 

 

Majorette are a pop band led by twee chanteuse Danielle Salomon, a native of Queens, NY. What a little beauty this EP is: nostalgic, warm, and charming; the best debut I've heard in many a year. She possesses a gorgeous singing voice, too. I sound like a stuck record now, but I can't help it - this band have stolen my heart. πŸ’˜

For fans of: Stephin Merritt, Acid House Kings, The School. 

Releases 24th April on the Pretoria, SA-based indie label Subjangle. It's set to be an instant classic - you mark my words! 😍

Various artists ~ "Mummy, Mummy Please Look At Me": A Tribute to the Television Personalities

Well, this Television Personalities tribute album is a hidden gem! I'm ashamed to say that TVPs were one of those revered (in indiepop circles) bands that I've never got around to listening to as much as I probably should have. I shall remedy this straight away! 🎧🎢

Highlights: Jeanines, The Kitchenettes, The 1981 (year of my birth! 😏), The Telephone Numbers. Curated by the brilliant Dandy Boy Records, out of Oakland, California.
