Really sad to hear this — you’ve always been such an inspiration!

Hoy otro disco editado este año por @meritoriorec.bsky.social. Los veteranos The High Water Marks y su "Consult The Oracle". Pop de guitarras del bueno que sirve para salvarte un día chungo. Hay algunos temas especialmente brillantes como "Old Farm Witches", deliciosa.

Ahora que @meritoriorec.bsky.social vuelve a reeditar esta maravilla de disco de jangle neozelandés. Creo que es un gran momento para recuperar este "Grey Eyes, Grey Lynn" de Jim Nothing. Es una maravilla

Slipping between the punk snap of Aussie forefathers and college radio jangle staples, Creative Writing's “Memory Light” weaves guitar lines around the listener, a braided lanyard of licks that’s buoyed by haloed harmonies that nod to The Feelies and The Chills. bit.ly/4nnTPDV

Dancer - More or Less album review: The Skinny On their followup to last year's 10 Song I Hate About You, Dancer aren't reinventing the wheel but they charm in spades.

"Fun, attention grabbing and really quite charming."

★★★★ album review: MORE OR LESS by Dancer (@dancerband.bsky.social) is out this Friday on @meritoriorec.bsky.social

Dancer: More or Less A blog about music. The good stuff only.

This kind of well-executed stubbornness and not playing by the rules was all the rage in the 90s in circles of music lovers who were serious about their listening habits.

Slipping away from the jangled tangles & ‘90s CMJ chart digging of their early works, Creative Writing hits the pop pedal on “Slice & Dice,” dousing the hooks in fuzz. With a punk pounce, they scoop up Superchunk’s elasticity, The Wipers’ dented indie charms,& Toy Love’s frenetic edge bit.ly/4mglRB4
