A Fine Mess
Crime Waves

~ Memory Cassette – “Asleep At A Party” ~
There’s such a thing as “newgaze”? Well apparently that’s what this is. It’s a dreamy, “gazy” song for sure. I love it when she sings “I sleep with one eye open” and the twinkly piano in the background. Amongst many other things I’m too lazy to list right now. Fab tune.
~ VV Brown – “Crying Blood” ~
An upbeat, funky as hell song that everyone should have on repeat. And it if makes you dance like a maniac, well that’s perfectly fine. Fact is I demand it! Is VV big in her native UK? I’m out of the loop when it comes to this girl.
~ Should – “Spangle” ~
Really good, lo-fi dreampop that I completely overlooked until I put my whole music library on shuffle. Draws you in with its swirly guitars and female vocals in the chorus. Then you’re hooked and there’s nothing you can do but enjoy it.
~ The Hail Seizures – “Daddy” ~
One of the many great tracks of the Well, I Don’t See Why Not compilation. Fast-paced folk punk that grabs you for a whirlwind ride with no excuses whatsoever. As it should.
~ Two-Minute Miracles – “Conjoined” ~
At first I found this song hilarious for some reason. Well the chorus anyway. I mean it’s great but it sounds kinda country-dorky when he sings in a sort of twangy Texas accent (and apparently they’re from Canada). But then again I am pretty weird. From (weewerk) is 6, another great compilation album.

VV Brown isn’t big in the UK (yet) but she has a lot of hype as a “rising star”. e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7758169.stm
