xdeletiax – Turzi? Name the Pet? Joensuu 1685? “landfill indie”? Dude, do you even know what you’re talking about there?

only feeling jamaica and TTT (remind me of a poor mans polar bear) most of these sound like landfill indie or filler from a kitsune compilation.

una – Probably one of the worst major label releases of last year.

Check out Kid British. My sides are still sore.

Sliimy is so bad. His debut album still haunts me. Probably one of the worst major label releases of last year.

Then again, he’s on that Mika/Perez label/kiddzy buzz that I hate.

Seabear have this little song called Libraries, almost unrivalled in its loveliness. Indie pop gold nuggets, well panned Jim.

Choir of Young Believers, for sure.

Wouldn’t hurt to see Beth Jeans Houghton, though you probably know her already.

As for the Bookhouse Boys – I’d check out any band named after a Twin Peaks reference.
