40 Cheekface - Middle Spoon America's local band signal more dispatches from the nerdy, mostly impoverished artist ranks, looking out wryly at the outside world Middle Spoon by Cheekface 39 C Duncan - It's Only A Love Song An unexpected turn into romantic chamber pop, ornate swooning and swooping strings flavouring Nilsson-inspired songwriting that borders on the timeless It's Only A Love Song by…
We've never gone as far as a top 60 before, but that's how packed out with goodness the year was on an LP scale when even number 60 is something as instant and likeable as... 60 Autocamper - What Do You Do All Day? Janglepop as she is spoke in the modern day, taking the influences of the Glasgow and Dunedin scenes into their own cohesive whole What Do You Do All Day? by Autocamper 59 Hannah…

Slightly more up to date than the last one, another month cleared. Our request for someone to help put this together on something other than accursed Spotify fell on deaf ears like every other request we've made in the last few years, so sorry. There's two that aren't on there at all this time! Amelia & The Housewives - Summer's Over Annabelle Chairlegs - Ice Cream On The Beach Baxter Dury - Alpha…
With the up to date cutting edge approach that's served us so well over the last twenty years, on the eve of Hallowe'en here's our August playlist. Still gathered together on Spotify, unfortunately, but that's the easiest playlistable streaming service we have to hand right now. We'd ask if anyone wanted to compile it into a different format but we've done that too many times before to think the…
