Soichi Terada – “Voices From Beyond” [2015/1993]

Posted on September 17, 2015 by Very Warm

Stumbled across a collection of fun, bouncy house music from Japan recently. Thought it was recent but it’s in fact a compilation called Sounds From The Far East dating back to around 1993. This dude, Soichi Terada, apparently made the … Continue reading →

The Sundays – “Hideous Towns” [1990]

Posted on August 12, 2015 by Very Warm

For some reason I slept on this band while I was going through trying to collect all the essential jangle pop from the 80s and 90s. That was a dangerous mistake for sure, but I’m glad I made up for … Continue reading →

Hey now this one might be a little self-serving or whatever since I’m working this record to college radio, but whatever! Very few people read this anyways. This Gossamer record Automaton out on Innovative Leisure has grown to be one … Continue reading →

Elvis Depressedly – “New Alhambra” [2015]

Posted on June 2, 2015 by Very Warm

By and far the standout song from this record in my mind. Slow & melancholy but still contains strains of a catchy pop song. Reminds me of sadder Foxes in Fiction, in a way.

Dan Lambert – “Charley Town”

Posted on May 3, 2015 by Very Warm

I just discovered the treasure trove of reissued goodness that is Numero Group Records, which is a label based in Chicago that focuses on putting out old/forgotten/under-appreciated/unknown cuts of music. What kind of music? That part doesn’t matter, as long … Continue reading →

I just recently delved into the world of now defunct(?? I hope not) record label Olde English Spelling Bee, a purveyor of weirdo ambient, electronic, pop, rock and folk records. Most of their catalog came from around 2009-2012, which in … Continue reading →

Chastity Belt – “Joke” [2015]

Posted on April 4, 2015 by Very Warm

Coming in at a perfect time in my life, the new Chastity Belt record is now my go-to record for melodies tainted with jaded melancholy. Downtrodden yet catchy, laid back yet conscious enough to make a witticism or killer riff. … Continue reading →
