Presents for Sally at Clickity Click

To what can we attribute the rhythmic bounce that propels “Wishawaytoday,” the deliriously great summer single that served as the harbinger for Presents For Sally‘s recently released sophomore set Colours & Changes? My Bloody Valentine‘s blindingly brilliant “Drive It All Over Me” is an obvious reference point, but we suppose the rhythm also echoed prominently… Continue reading Presents for Sally at Clickity Click

Presents for Sally at Drowned in Sound

Presents for Sally may have only formed in 2009 but their music could quite easily have been crafted two decades earlier.

The Bristol band’s record, Colours And Changes, is out October 9. Download “Wishawaytoday” below. Click through for… Continue reading Presents for Sally at Magnet

Presents for Sally at Pittsburgh in Tune

British trio Presents for Sally have a noticeable fondness for the guitar-fueled indie pop/shoegaze sound of the 1990s, yet the band manages to put their own spin on a familiar sound.
