LIST 151 - 13/03/15



Hello again,

Another grab-bag of allsorts this week, and another of those genuine moments of musical discovery that remind one why being an indiepop fan continues to be so rewarding.  I don't know the first thing about Star Tropics, but rather as with The Royal Landscaping Society a few months back a listen to the contents of their Bandcamp-published current EP makes me want to know EVERYTHING about them.  Hugely, hugely engaging janglepop that I'd love to see find a berth on this year's Indietracks line-up.

Other highlights - and there are many - include the return of both Milky Wimpshake and (via a relic site off the Humberside coast!) Lonelady; the outstanding Golcar-based (and Chumbawamba-affiliated) chamber folk duo O'Hooley & Tidow; the now Canada-based Norman Blake's latest co-project The Mendicants; a not-long-before-fame single by Pulp that's actually among my very favourite of theirs (maybe second only to Countdown); and a wee guilty pleasure from Dave Edmunds...
