“The perfect juxtaposition of dry slacker pop, incidental jangled riffs and fuzz-laden aural textures.”
From the dream-pop depths of Leicester: Shopfires' Surplus EP unearths the tracks Neil Hill nearly left sleeping on his hard drive forever, delivering yet more of his signature melancholy, dreamy, jangly indie-pop brilliance. Coaxed out by persistent "musical naggings," these surplus gems prove that even Hill's off-cuts are anything but ordinary — sitting comfortably alongside his acclaimed 2024 albums.
Nothing on this shelf right now. Here are releases from related sounds.
“The perfect juxtaposition of dry slacker pop, incidental jangled riffs and fuzz-laden aural textures.”
“To finish as a 'sequel' to the previous album, 'Dreams of an Imaginary Place' is an experimental album of psychedelic pop and a bit of folk as well, a kind of mix of different styles for each song.”
“Burnished, lo-fi jangle-rock has never felt quite so naturally vital as it does in the hands of AM Shanley.”
“'Open Highway', serves as a perfect illustration of the recent journey jangle-pop has taken along the lo-fi road increasingly travelled”
“As such, rooted in lucid, jangled riffs, I'd Rather Walk attempts to 'go everywhere' you have never imagined and succeeds with aplomb”
“Seamlessly transitioning through psyche-rock, college rock and the most winsome of singer-songwriter genre with absolute jangly intent.”
“No Museums: A homemade hybrid of creaking pop and basement rock, using an array of textural devices and hummed noise.”
