Sir Simon &bull; <i>Repeat Until Funny</i>

Sir Simon • Repeat Until Funny

Information on this outfit is scant, but not required to enjoy their lilting melodies and careful close harmonies. These songs are like a cat that has become expert at sneaking onto your lap. Before you know it, they are nestled in and thrumming.

Certain Animals &bull; <i>Songs To Make You Move</i>

Certain Animals • Songs To Make You Move

Dutch indie rock psychedelic bands often stand out from their UK or US counterparts because they are just too good at the tropes. It’s like they took the test and got 110%, and there wasn’t even extra credit.

Spin Doctors &bull; <i>Face Full Of Cake</i>

Spin Doctors • Face Full Of Cake

No denying this band exists in a dual space of Gen X ridicule and genuine nostalgia. The new album is filled with the same sunny indie-rock wink-and-grin disposition that rightfully earned them the title, broadcasting into/from the airwaves of 1994.

BRONCHO &bull; <i>Natural Pleasure</i>

BRONCHO • Natural Pleasure

One final challenge awaits: swim through the Reservoir of Bliss, filled with honey, liquid moonlight, and endorphins, then dance in slow motion across the infra-disco, as BRONCHO's underwater guitar syrup and whispered falsetto choruses are playing.
