Jangle pop's restless spirit burns bright: Liberty Belle conjures the most beautifully fragile indie-pop imaginable, channelling the McLennan end of The Go-Betweens with devastating effect, while The Kind Hills craft slacker-pop 'odes to simplicity' that convey the dull ache of lost love through jangly indie-pop that never strays into the fluffier realms of contrition. Shapes Like People push the boundaries of traditional jangle pop by evolving the genre with Dreampop and Shoegaze across a hook-filled, flawless whole. No Museums juxtaposes aural layers with fuzz that whirrs and grinds atop the most jangly of melodic underlays, and Zenxith delivers their most atmospheric DIY effort yet — lo-fi jangle and indie-pop recorded directly into a phone, entirely their way.
