As if that last post wasn't exciting enough ... we're live in session on the Riley & Coe show on BBC 6 Music on Monday night.

If you fancy tuning in, you'll hear us playing four songs and there'll be a bit of chat with the mighty Gideon Coe.

Raven Sings The Blues on the new Cords single:
"'When You Said Goodbye' is a bittersweet blur of strums and honeyed harmonies. It finds the sister duo at their most wistful, with melodies floating away on the breeze like dandelion seeds in the sun."

Magnificent performance as ever from the brilliant The Cords. I can't get enough of this blistering C86 inspired jangle/noisepop. ❤️👌🎶

Much excellent merch available from Nick Precious at Glas-goes-pop, including the new Heavenly and Swansea Sound 7”s. (Even though neither is playing).

Precious Recordings of London @precrecs.bsky.social · Jul 26

Come and get the new Heavenly @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social single 'Portland Town' (and indeed Swansea Sound 'Oasis or Blur' - the answer is Pulp) at @glasgoespop.bsky.social coloured vinyl, kids ! I'll probably be wearing a Soup Dragons t-shirt standing behind new Silver Biplanes ten-inch !

Fabulist is an upbeat putdown of people who have trouble telling the truth, compulsive liars who can spin unlikely tales while keeping a straight face.

🎸 Pubblicato dalla storica @slumberlandrecords.com e dalla @skepwax.bsky.social di @heavenlyamelia.bsky.social, il terzo album dei @jeanines-band.bsky.social concepisce un'elegante architettura twee per raccontare lo spaesamento post fallimento sentimentale.

#indiepop #tweepop #musicdiscovery

Jeanines: To Fail | Humans vs Robots

Se c’è una band che oggi incarna al meglio lo spirito indie e twee pop di fine ‘80 e inizio ‘90, sono i Jeanines. L’ex duo di Brooklyn …. Parliamo di jeanines, jed smith, alicia jeanine, maggie gaster...
