#slacker-pop

There’s a sly cheekiness and sardonic tartness to Lauran Hibberd’s songwriting on infectious new single Hoochie. Even the title of the song divulges some of that aforementioned sweet spunk. The charismatic singing songwriting sensation from the Isle Of Wight is known for her humorous, off-kilter approach. Hoochie’s guitar pop bursts with playful, clever lyrics and charged guitar riffs that will have you bopping along gleefully in no time. The next time you want to hint to your friend that she’s a slut, jamming out to Hoochie might be the best way to lay it on straight and give her the message. Discussing her slacker-pop single, Hibberd stated: “‘Hoochie’ is a 90’s slang term for a bit of a ‘loose’ woman. It’s also the name of my new hamster. For me, this track is kind of that three-month period, after you’ve stopped hanging out with someone and you realise that actually they were kind of a tool, and that maybe you are alright. I think there’s a confidence in this track lyrically that I’m yet to filter through to my actual life. I’m looking forward to that happening”.

Live Review: Mac DeMarco, Ultimate Painting & @dinnerxdinner (Camden Roundhouse, 09/09/15) (@msldemarco @ult_painting)

Copenhagen’s very own singer and producer, Dinner (Anders Rhedin), certainly won the award for the most bizarre experience of the evening. Before we had even got to the venue a friend of mine reckoned we would be actually eating some free food, due to the show update of “Dinner @ 7.” The entirety of his set was enjoyably confusing. Dinner, as an act, comprises simply of vocals, fleeting use of a…

'Tearing Your Heart Out, One String at a Time' is taken from the upcoming tape 'Taking Out The Trash' from Bournemouth fuzz aficionados Bos Angeles. The 21-track uber-tape is a compilation of 4 previously unreleased EPs by the band. 'Taking Out The Trash' is listed in chronological order dating back from March 2011 to June 2012, charting the change in style and refinement.  The release is available on cassette from Tye Die Tapes, limited to a run of 200. All preorders come with an instant download. Available here from BANDCAMP.

It’s pretty hard to believe that Fanzine are not an American band, they are in fact from London, regardless of what the fuzzy Californian Lo-fi that they produce would suggest. Their new single is a scrumptuous slice of Slacker-Pop, plated up on a bed of back ground noise that wrestles to the surface of the bedroom-demo stylings. The track is reminiscent of bands such as Wavves or Bleeding Knees Club, producing a distinctly care free vibe of sun-soaked adolescent fun.

Fanzine are far from ready to sell out arenas, but the hooks of L.A will leave cheesy smiles and circulate your mind, long after the track has finished.
