Apple Orchard - Leafy Lanes

with the exception of one song,
this ep is pretty perfect:
dreamy, jangling pop.

however, i almost hesitated to post the ep
because one of the gentlemen in the band
resembles someone i loathe.

next time i listen, ill simply avoid going to their last.fm page.

The Arctic Flow - Goodbye Oceana

obviously, i needed to post this at some point.
it was released a couple of weeks ago,
but seeing as i have not been updating this blog,
what do you expect.

anyway, i love the arctic flow.
the single is free,
thank you Holiday Records
(who by the way, have reuploaded
some of their back catalogue!)

the instrumental b-side
is particularly noteworthy.

Trasvorder - La tristeza se destruye

what lovely little dreamy indie pop songs.

and what a terribly confusing day.
Liberada perfectly captures how i feel,
granted i have literally no idea what the song
is actually about, but it sounds like it probably is
about whatever my day is about.

anyway,
this free ep is great.
i love the singers voice.
it is soft and gentle and true.

The Radio Dept. - Heavens On Fire

i wanted to post this a while ago
because it is fantastic-feel-good-fun,
but not overwhelmingly saccharine.
however, i was too upset to post such a thing.
you see i try to keep this blog as honest as possible.
and although i still do not necessarily feel especially
connected to this ep at the moment,
i know it must be shared.
(assuming you dont already have it of course)

The Arctic Flow - All The Way Until December

i should change my name to this flowing flow
because clearly every band that features the word "flow"
is destined for ultimate righteousness.
at least the arctic flow and this empty flow
would seem to indicate that.
and everyone knows that two pieces of overwhelming
evidence is more than sufficient.

right.
this lp is fantastic.
what a talented man that
Brian Hancheck is.
and he released "all the way until december" for free too.
oh, to be talented and generous.

i wish i could write something more appropriate
and sing my praises properly. just believe me
when i say that you ought to download this.

ps. alsp make sure to re-check out other releases on this label.
gift after gift after gift after gift.

Signed Papercuts - Nothingness Ep

I should have known
that an ep with such
horrible cover art
would prove to be great.
of course.

all jokes aside,
this is yet another
amazing Cloudberry
release.

that label is so consistently
awesome, it makes me rethink
my disgust with the trash swamp
that is florida.

The Crêpes - What Else?

one application done,
one more to go.
let us all take a breath.
it is winter break after all.
i want to play in the snow (:

ps. im not entirely sure how
to classify this release.
it is not quite twee,
but not quite dream,
but definitely pop
and definitely awesome.

Alison's Halo - Jetpacks for Julian EP

You have given up
on me.
So now, I am giving up
on you.

What a gorgeous ep.
There is so much beauty
in this world,
but you didn't want
to share it with me.

Magic Wands - Magic Love and Dreams EP

This ep is fantastic. I needed some good
dream pop, and this two piece act certainly
does deliver a healthy dose
of dreamy hooks to wash away any
hazy summer day.
