Searching For The Now 6

various artists

Slumberland's popular Searching For The Now split single series continues to fire on all cylinders with this excellent UK pairing. On the a-side we find Welsh pop mavens The School, with a smashing cover of late Left Banke tune "And Suddenly." George Washington Brown creates pastoral, psychedelic power-pop, and his two songs on this split single are brand new and exclusive. Pressed on grey/black swirl vinyl.

Blue Genes

The Champagne Socialists

Totally ace 60s-flavored girl group power pop from ex-members of The Royal We and Bricolage. Imagine Shadow Morton and Joe Meek hanging out at CBGBs and you're almost there.

Love Is A Wave

Crystal Stilts

Their first new songs since the brilliant Alight of Night, and what a corker it is. An upbeat summer stomper that brings to mind such classics as "Tally Ho" and "Don't Slip Up." Limited edition white vinyl.

Sisters Are Forever

Sexy Kids

Anthemic post-punk pop from members of the Royal We (RIP). Catchy, driving, addictive and just plain wonderful. THE single of 2008!

I Lie Awake

Cause Co-Motion!

Brilliant crash-pop from one of our absolute favorite bands. Three songs bursting with spring reverb, energy, busted strings, rattle, boom and clatter. Fans of early 14 Iced Bears, TVPs and the poppier side of first-wave post-punk take note.

Industrial Strength

Phil Wilson

June Brides leader Phil Wilson returns after a twenty year hiatus with the smashing four song EP comprising of covers of some of Phil's earliest experimental music influences: Kraftwerk, Faust, Throbbing Gristle and S/T. Working in a mesmerizing acoustic/folk mode, Phil digs down to the surprisingly melodic tune at the core of each of these songs, and re-imagines them in a totally unique way.

Joe's Record

Sarandon

Brilliant post-punk pop that pays homage to the best of 80s UK DIY. Short, angular tunes that combine the brusque drive of Big Flame and Bogshed with the spiky melodicism of June Brides and Josef K.

Intimate lo-fi folk/pop from this pioneer of the bedroom recording community. Strong songs should please fans of early Magnetic Fields.
