Fantastic new single from The Smittens on the ever dependable WeePOP! label. The finest indiepop! Very recommended.

You Animals "What A Shame, Lorraine" 7 inch
'What A Shame, Lorraine' combines a nagging keyboard hook and a Marr-esque guitar pattern. Flip side 'Halfway to Heartbreak' is an infectious three-minute blast of regret.

Wake The President / Miniature Dinosaurs "Split Single" 7 inch
It's an all Scottish affair on this new split: Glasgow art-pop melodists Wake the President give us a jangly, ebullient indie-pop ode to love and being left behind. Stirling's Miniature Dinosaurs give us a a slice of Buzzcocks-esque pop.
Rayographs "S/T" CD
Rayographs have carved out their own distinctive sound which taps into a dark shimmering psychedelia. The songs have an odd timeless quality that yearn for absent cinematic visuals. Swooping, atmospheric vocals, with in 60s garage hooks.

Ace new single from The Lovely Eggs. Highly Recommended.
