Most 90s indie pop, along with much of the commercial music made in that decade, has aged pretty badly. I used to love this track when it came out and it brings back some funny memories of school days, holidays with mates and much stupid behaviour that I’m glad is well behind me. The song actually still sounds pretty good (or is that just me?), but it’s amazing how obviously 90s this is from virtually everything in the video.
These guys released their debut album last year and I’d highly recommend anyone into lo-fi indie checks it out. I’m assuming there have been many comparisons to bands like Dinosaur Jr, who they definitely sound a lot like, but there are some great songs on the album that make them a step above bands giving a nod to a classic era of guitar music.
As the name might suggest this is a fairly loosely defined bunch of musicians and guests making some pretty cool, weird indie/electronica. One of the main guys Panda Bear makes pretty good tunes on his own so it’s well worth checking out some of his stuff if you’re into this kinda thing.
The Strokes have a new album out which sounds pretty good from the first couple of listens. I doubt they’ll ever reach the lofty heights of their amazing debut but at least they still know how to crank out a good slab of indie pop. This was one of the better tunes from their third album that may have gone a little unnoticed by some…
