In a sunburst of chiming guitars and crystalline melodies, Armstrong's HandiCrafts flirts with lo-fi pop perfection, while Crayon Cats infuse Indonesia's twee waters with welcome grit. The Slow Summits channel pure Anglophile jangle with Swedish precision, as Field Hospitals deliver Minneapolis shamble-pop with Waterboys-esque passion. Hamlet's Light Under Repair EP balances college rock energy with plaintive introspection, while The Open Flames paint cinematic narratives through melodic fuzz and jangle.

Armstrong
HandiCrafts
"Too lo-fi and steeped in emotional immediacy to be sophisti-pop and yet too 'considered' to disregard such inferences, Armstrong's song writing and ability to resonate each note means this Handicrafts double CD/album he regularly flirts with pop perfection."
Sorry Monks
Perfect Hour
"... finely coiffured juxtaposition of lo-fi, 60s pop inflections and pure indie guitar-pop"
