Six strings, shimmer, and gloriously skewed sensibilities: Nutrias blend jangly Spanish indie fey with guitar-pop muscularity channeling Flying Nun and Sarah Records luminaries, while Hamlet heaves with crushed neo-acoustic lo-fi emotionality for devotees of Elliott Smith and I Was A King. PoPo delivers Sweden's retro lo-fi jangle with alt and obtuse detours into dreamy melancholy, as I Wanna Be A Truck Driver evokes Glasgow's finest C86 and BMX Bandits-flavoured twee-pop traditions. The Happy Somethings etch sardonic social polemic into jangly twee-pop with unfettered vitriol, while Owen Marchildon marries Big Star-influenced power-pop with dark post-punk cinematic depth worthy of Echo and the Bunnymen.
