Perennial (perennialdeath) have quite a lineup of upcoming releases:

Winston Hightower, "100 Acre Wood" is set for release on April 17. We covered an earlier release two years ago on Perennial.

Touch Girl Apple Blossom, "Graceful" is set for release on May 15, 2026. The first song, "The Springtime Reminds Me Of..." sounds like The Bats, and then the vocals remind me of any number of K Records bands from the 1990s. The band will be touring with Good Flying Birds.

But the post goes to Slippers (Los Angeles, California) and their June 2026 release, "Slippers 08". The band is the vehicle for the music of drummer/vocalist Madeline BB (Madeline Babuka Black). An earlier digital single is named, "Guess I Started A Band", an indie version of Art Brut's "Formed A Band". We previously covered their Lamo-O release in 2024, but on this album she collaborates with Mo Troper and Fred Thomas (mixing and mastering). The Bandcamp mentioned both The Beatles and Karen Carpenter when describing the record. "Wants For Everyone" is a fantastic pop song worthy of those two titanic names. I might throw in XTC for good measure.

Lame-O Records (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) has been turning out some great pop records. From Mo Troper to Slaughter Beach, Dog to Hurry, the label has consistently kept a steady finger on the pulse of indie pop.

Now comes Slippers "So You Like Slippers?". The band serves as the vehicle for the music of Madeline BB. The Bandcamp page throws out a lot of different touchstones - Elephant 6 and Apples in Stereo played a big role in Madeline's upbringing. It describes opener "XTC1000" as a combo of Goner and Sarah Records.

I personally think of Mo Troper's music most when I listen to this, but far be it from me to judge someone's list of band/label comps. Slippers are currently based in Los Angeles, California.

"I don’t write songs for pleasure"

Tutta quella musica che sembra scorrere ai margini delle cose, lontana dal tempo veloce che decide il senso di un’epoca. Tutta quella musica che ancora mi tiene prigioniero, come un sorriso non detto, lo sguardo che ci scambiavamo da lontano, il soffio d’ombra che hai lasciato tra le mie parole. Indiepop che passi inosservato, come le figure ordinarie dentro le tue canzoni, nel breve turno tra felicità modeste e inquietudini a cui è difficile dare un nome. Indiepop che custodisci ogni ricordo incredibilmente nitido e preciso di quello che resta dei miei sentimenti. Senza pretese, è tutto qui.Quasi per caso, niente di troppo solenne, Madeline BB, in arte Slippers, nel bel mezzo del suo nuovo album Slippers 08 dichiara “I don’t write songs for pleasure”. È un passaggio chiave. Lì c’è una storia di relazioni sbilanciate (“As if running around you makes sense for me / But what about me?”), ma credo sia un verso importante per mostrarci anche altro...

iNDIEPLAZA 2025 at Rockefeller Plaza

On Saturday, April 12, 2025, Rough Trade NYC celebrated Record Store Day with another edition of their iNDIEPLAZA event featuring live performances by various acts in Rockefeller Plaza. The day long event featured DJ sets by Confines + Ohaileigh, Yuno, and Chanel Beads and live sets by Slippers, Lifeguard, Zsela, Pachyman, Clipping, Scowl, and The Hives. The event was scheduled during Record Store Day, and Rough Trade debuted their new space, Rough Trade Below, a few days prior.

Crowds convened on the plaza throughout the day despite the rain from when Slippers began at noon until The Hives closed the show around 9PM. I covered the day long event for Impose Magazine and the full gallery can be found on their website here.
