Cranking up the fuzz and the feels: Mythical Motors marks twenty years of pioneering crushed lo-fi power-pop with a sprawling double album from the unsung architect of the whole movement, while Space Jaguar broadens and refines their jangly power-pop on Every Room Is An Escape Room, weaving in fuzzed-out alt-country and heartbroken indie folk. Victims of the New Math takes jangly alt lo-fi pop deep into gloriously unruly territory, refusing to conform to anyone else's song structure, and Ben Auld channels Teenage Fanclub, Weezer and Tony Molina into Loserdom — layered harmonies, Bach-inspired guitar solos and tongue-in-cheek drama compressed under three minutes a track. Power Burkas offer their raw, reckless self-titled snapshot — boundless youthful energy fuelled by the urge to speak out.
“For 20 years, the unsung, absolute pioneer of the current jangly, lofi power-pop movement...”
“Power Burkas in their primal, primitive state. Raw, direct, and brimming with a vitality driven by the urge to speak out.”
“RF release their jangliest, most baroque and thoughtful album yet, but maintain 'Pavement playing Teenage Fanclub” mission statement”
“Crunchy guitars and two-part vocal harmonies; power pop influences distorted through 90s alt rock sensibilities.”
“Recorded between March & June 2026, Grass Is Greener is a collection of 12 songs that evoke the golden age of guitar-pop without veering into pastiche.”
“Thomas Young and his Victims of the New Math project take us deep into the heart of jangly alt. lo-fi pop with his permanent sense of originality...”
“An unpretentious, self-produced power pop record that blends early indie influences with occasional stylistic detours, all driven by a purely underground spirit.”
