Merry Christmas to all my friends. 💗

Enjoy this throwback to the time when fluffmeister Nancy dragged her own present - some catnip-flavoured treats - out of the pile and started opening it with her teeth. Even though it looks faked, I did not stage this picture in any way - cross my ♥! 

Merry Christmas to all the kitties.  

From the compilation Cwistmas Twee (Total Gaylord Records, 2004). 

And now for a pair of festive gems released just this month. ✨🎁

I'd like to wish everyone who reads this a very happy, healthy and music-filled 2024. 🥂 All Dressed Up in Dreams will be back in the new year - stay tuned! 😻

Ex-Vöid ~ Bigger Than Before // No Suits in Miami ~ Nothing Ever Happens // Yumi Zouma ~ Present Tense

I haven't posted for a while, sorry 'bout that! While I've been stuck indoors this past week recovering from Covid, the new records from Ex-Vöid (London), No Suits in Miami (Lund, Sweden), and Yumi Zouma (Christchurch, NZ) have been giving me life. 😍 Here's a taster. Enjoy! ♥

 

No Suits in Miami ~ The Robins Sang

Hello, is it me you're looking for? That's right, All Dressed Up in Dreams is back for 2022! 

I have had this new single from No Suits in Miami on repeat all week, which I can only describe as pure Sarah Records; an energising slice of catchy janglepop goodness. I really hope there is a new album in the offing. 🤞 Update: there is!

Westkust ~ Cotton Skies

With the UK's seemingly interminable Covid lockdown restrictions apparently lifting by June, for once I feel cautiously optimistic about the summer, and the prospect of getting out to see some bands again. This blissful noisepop song by Westkust makes me feel at once hopeful and nostalgic, if that's possible. Hope in a song.
