Start my first post with some shared thoughts about music. I was the past months quite insatisfied with music I was listening to. I felt like no soul was put in LPs, the strange sensation that all the success are now written in advance by some magazines or key websites. No real excitment in discovering new stuff because everybody discover it at the same time...a strange feeling of harmonisation... but anyway...Ok maybe I sound like a geek with these words. But sometimes, it is precious to dig in some “underground” or maybe even less mainstream. Sometimes it is good to come back to what was really indie-pop, at the beginning...not the perverted word that we found in every big malls.
I wanted to come back to a cheesy, gummy sound, some people would say girly sounds...but what makes me feel good with music is that even you’ve listened to hundred songs about love, sadness, happiness you’re still thinking that each song is different but perfect.
after listening to several bands from Germany and Sweden I really have the impression that the heart of pop music moves from UK to other places with more heart and soul. The band Acid House Kings is a perfect example.simple melody, lyrics several times heard but you can’t stop listening and singing because it makes you smile and you remeber when you broke up or felt in love with someone in the street...
through several searches on the web, I was also astonished that a lot of indie pop bands are still promoted and quite alive! here below you'll find some links where you can find good free mp3, a very interesting article from pitchfork on true indie-pop... you could call it twee pop or anorak pop, but the indie spirit is there!
