I’m coining a new sub-sub-genre: “spangle-pop.”

Pleasant if forgettable jangle-pop, produced by Cate le Bon.
-

Kill Rock Stars forever. This is some serious sad-sack music that I need right now.

Various – Soft Summer Breezes (2024)
Listening:
Like a parallel timeline where the lesser-known peers of Herman’s Hermits, Gerry & the Pacemakers, and Peter & Gordon had similar staying power. God bless Numero.
You can download the MP3s from Boomkat.

The Orchids – Striving for the Lazy Perfection (Sarah, 1994)
Listening:
I forgot how much I used to listen to this record fifteen years ago.
-
Nathair – Gilera (2023)
Listening:
I have to resist making excuses for this. Yes I love this because it sounds like it was recorded in a basement, OK?
-
Shira Small – The Line of Time and the Plane of Now (1974)
Listening:
I love this! I’ve been listening to it all week. This is “outsider music” but is by no means best enjoyed ironically. Some great stuff in here, and such a time capsule of its era. You could try to make something that sounded like this today, but you’d fail.
