Bluevox+++

Trying to kill a couple of hours at work today, I was sniffing around Myspace, and suddenly I came across the Argentinean multi-person indie pop band Bluevox. And you probably know how it is? Any band claiming to sound like Belle & Sebastian simply needs to be checked out. So I did what I had to do, and soon found myself listening to some absolutely lovely chamber pop. The band lists itself as unsigned, although it does seem like the band has been signed by the label Where Did You Find Him? However this US based label has yet to release anything, but if the website is to be trusted the first release will be a limited edition CD-R by said Bluevox. No information has been posted for a while, so it will be interesting to see when (if?) it will be released! Time will tell?

Another band set to release an EP on the aforementioned label is UK duo The Painted Word. The excellent self-titled track posted below could probably be described as a psychedelic inspired electronic pop song?

The new single Up To Your Neck by Diefenbach is now streamable at Myspace. Sounds unmistakably like Diefenbach, which probably isn't a bad thing. The follow-up to the 2005 album Set and Drift will be released around October 1.

4 tracks from the new Dan Wallace album Reattachment are free to download at Myspace. Impossible to label, but certainly requires some work getting into.

Earlier today Coast is Clear posted the track The Great Escape by Norwegians Cold Mailman (what a horrible name). But a great tune which has just been added to my current favorites list.

Two to look out for (maybe?)...

Dan Wallace will release his new album Culture of Self on July 19. His music is pretty hard to label (a rocking version of the typical singer/songwriter?), but the four freebies of the album are pretty good.
+ Perfect Weather For A Superhero
+ The Heap

Swedish indie pop/rock band This Year's Model will release their debut album The Clock Strikes Ten in the rest of Europe on August 3 (already released in Japan and Scandinavia me thinks - how I wish bands were better at giving accurate information). The two sample tracks are short, but definitely not without potential (thanks J.A.).
+ Ten O'Clock Murder
+ O, Heaven Help My Foolish Heart

Obviously the burning question in both cases is, whether the rest of the album is any good! Will let you know if I ever find out...

Untitled.....

Today is holiday in Denmark, so no work for me today. Instead I've spent the majority of the day cleaning up the attic. I found loads of vinyl’s up there (not a big surprise really), but also (what seems like) hundreds of issues of Q Magazine and The Record Mirror (surprised by the number). Anyone interested in those old magazines?

New "friend" request (at Myspace of course) from indie pop/rock band Dan Wallace. Pretty nice stuff.
