This is the latest single from Animal Daydream is the sort of single you’d expect to be released in early summer as it is so bright and breezy it can’t be about the dark winters of the bands Gothenburg home. The 7″ single plays at 33 RPM but thankfully I spotted that before dropping the… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Whisperin and Hollerin

Animal Daydream at When You Motor Away
About a year ago we featured the Easy Pleasures EP, the debut recording by Gothenburg, Sweden guitar pop duoAnimal Daydream (link). Our only complaint was that at four songs, we were left wanting more. A year later, Daniel Fridlund Brandt and Alexander Wahl have sought to resolve our concerns with the Citrus EP, four more tracks… Continue reading Animal Daydream at When You Motor Away
Animal Daydream at Fear and Loathing
I remember being a little kid, agitated and bored in the backseat of our family station wagon. I was young enough not to be in school but old enough to be aware of what was around me. I would have to ride along with my mom to pick my dad up from his job. It… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Fear and Loathing
Eureka California at For the Rabbits
How do you take a really good noisy punk band and make them even better? Well getting MJ from Hookworms involved generally works rather nicely. That’s exactly what Athens, Georgia duo Eureka California did. Whilst on tour in the UK last summer, including a superb set at Indietracks, they headed to Leeds’ Suburban Homes Studio… Continue reading Eureka California at For the Rabbits
Halfsour at Three Imaginary Girls
The folks at Seattle record label (and record store) Jigsaw Records bring us Tuesday Night Live – the debut album by Halfsour. The Boston trio’s brand of indie-pop comes from the other side of the tracks, where “cute and precious” is overpowered by fast-paced, retro jangle and fearless, yet catchy, melodies. I immediately fell for… Continue reading Halfsour at Three Imaginary Girls
Animal Daydream at Bloodbuzzed
We move North to Gothenburg to meet Daniel Fridlund Brandt and Alexander Wahl, a very enigmatic duo that appeared on the scene in 2014. They have released two EPs to date, both out thanks to the always reliable Jigsaw Records, first debut ‘Easy Pleasures‘ in January 2015 and now, exactly a year later, ‘Citrus‘. Eight… Continue reading Animal Daydream at Bloodbuzzed
Eureka California at Innocent Words
Eureka California from Athens, GA announce the release of their new album “Versus” on HHBTM Records on March 25th, 2016. Endlessly self-referential and endlessly self-destructive, stuck on an endless treadmill of tension & release, of megalomania & doubt. Agoraphobic fight songs for the masses. The wit of a young Elvis Costello, the heart and reckless… Continue reading Eureka California at Innocent Words

Halfsour at Clicky Clicky Music Blog
We suppose there might be some quibbling, especially as how one defines “big” or “Boston” has some bearing on the matter, but it seems indisputable anyway that the first big Boston album of 2016 comes courtesy of Halfsour. The trio’s terrific debut long-player Tuesday Night Live, which streets next week, boasts scads of brisk tunes… Continue reading Halfsour at Clicky Clicky Music Blog
Witching Waves at Vulture Hound
If there was an award for ‘most appropriately named up-and-coming band of 2016’ Witching Waves would definitely a strong contender for the winner. Moody, atmospheric and haunting are the words you’re probably going to read in every review of this album in the coming few weeks. I’ve been lucky enough to have caught this band… Continue reading Witching Waves at Vulture Hound
