“Small town minutiae and jangly indie-pop has never felt quite so essential !”
Chiming guitars and restless energy collide: The Freebies splice '60s girl-group charm with indie-punk turbulence and Adam Green-style twee-pop closing tracks that demand repeat listens, while Das Schwa craft a 'wall of sound' built not from orchestras but a host of different guitars and a pulsating rhythm section. Hidden Eyes deliver jangly indie and noise-pop gems across a long-awaited double album from the enigmatic Lou and Dylan, and Trademark Issues offer their trademark defiant indie-pop 'difference' with irreverence that sums up the true Bandcamp spirit. No Museums juxtaposes fuzz that whirrs and grinds with the most jangly of melodic underlays, while Victims of the New Math takes jangly alt lo-fi pop deep into gloriously original territory all its own.
“Burnished, lo-fi jangle-rock has never felt quite so naturally vital as it does in the hands of AM Shanley.”
