Dreamy riffs and jangled undertones collide: Vain Pursuit delivers the simultaneous sound of hope and despair wrapped in dreamy jangle-pop textures and a post-punk undertow, while No Museums juxtaposes fuzz that whirrs and grinds with the most jangly of melodic underlays. Victims of the New Math takes us deep into jangly alt. lo-fi pop with a permanent sense of originality, and Zenxith keeps it defiantly DIY with lo-fi jangle and indie pop recorded straight to phone on his 18th album. Robertson rounds things out with chiming acoustic pop flavoured with psychedelia, folk rock and Americana.

Jangle-gaze never quite feels so essential as it does in the hands of Laurence Macaspac...(aka Swimming Pools and Movie Stars)
Goodbye Wudaokou
Anything Of Us
Manchester’s Mat Mills makes heartfelt lofi indie and dream pop, with hints of shoegaze and 90s alt rock, touching on themes of lost love, lost youth, legacy, and the beauty and danger of living in the past.
