1/7/24.

My Laundry Life is a one-man band (André Dan) from Essen, Germany who has been making music for decades. The Bandcamp page mentions indiepop in the tradition of The Go-Betweens and The Smiths. This sounds like something that would be released by either Jigsaw Records or Subjangle.

But, when originally released, "How To Wallow in Shame" was released on CDr by Vollwert-Records Berlin. Cloudberry Records also issued a split CDr mini with Kevin McGrother. So, check out Discogs to see what's available physically.

To me, some of the melodies and arrangements recall 10,000 Maniacs and Mojave 3. And the fact that this is great German indiepop means I must mention theCatherines (it's in my contract).
