10/3/24.
This release took me completely by surprise. From the cover, I kind of thought I might be getting some honkey tonk. Instead, Hataałii (full name Hataałiinez Wheeler from Window Rock, Arizona) has a bit of country, some crooner, and some good old fashioned alternative sound.
Window Rock known in Navajo as Tségháhoodzání is the capital of the Navajo Nation. Hataałii means "to sing" in Navajo. My immediate thought was that "Waiting For A Sign" had a similar sound to David Vassalotti (formerly of Merchandise). Hataałii's voice also sounds a bit like Lloyd Cole or Edwyn Collins.
Dangerbird Records released this album.

AllMusic Staff Pick: Lloyd Cole and the Commotions Rattlesnakes
1984's Rattlesnakes was a tremendously mature, accomplished debut for Lloyd Cole and the Commotions, a set of ten brilliantly crafted pop songs with superb hooks, melodies to die for, and lyrics that were as clever as they were coolly literate. As a singer and tunesmith, Cole was as keen a chronicler of pop culture iconography and human interaction as Morrissey without his smugness, and Rattlesnakes is among the best British LPs of the 1980s.

102: Lloyd Cole and the Commotions // Rattlesnakes
Rattlesnakes Lloyd Cole & the Commotions 1984, Polydor
I probably first heard Rattlesnakes about 15 years ago when I was in the heart of a mania for jangle pop, and my immediate thought was that it struck me as a spiritual predecessor to Vampire Weekend’s hyper-literate, collegiate guitar pop. I no longer feel like that’s a perfect comparison; it’s more like if Orange Juice scored a Whit Stillman movie. But if that comparison is bespoke enough for you to wanna close this tab already, let’s go back to the Vampire Weekend thing. Like Ezra Koenig, Cole had a knack for lampooning urbane trust fund kids, even as his characters nakedly yearn for a place in that cohort of bright young romantics. But, despite similarly precocious gifts as a songwriter, Cole is much more likely than the aloof Koenig to play the fool, both intentionally (“It wasn't my style to find surf in my eye / It was much more my style to find sand in my eye”) and otherwise (“If you really want to get straight / read Norman Mailer”). That’s a great part of the charm of Cole’s early music: it’s the sound of a young man who believes himself to be brilliant mostly proving himself right, the wild successes and groaning errors that come with growing into the role. (Sadly, like a lot of brilliant young men he peaked early with this effort.)
youtube
Rattlesnakes is one of the most consistently fun jangle pop records to come out of the ‘80s UK scene, and I don’t find there to be a bad song in the bunch. Each of the four singles is a worthy contender for the jewel in the crown, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the tender “2cv.” It’s one of the few songs where Cole steps away from his bookshelf and simply writes what he feels. In the context of his delicate melody, he accomplishes the Morrissey-esque trick of writing lines that give a pang, even as you realize they’re quite funny:
"She took her mother’s car to get away from me Heaven knows that I… I can sympathize Oh, I can sympathize
For we were never close if the truth were told All we ever shared Was a taste in clothes"
102/365

9/3/24.
Following up on The Ladybug Transistor post was easy. Frequent Gary Olson collaborator, Phil Sutton, is releasing "another "Blue" by Love, Burns (Queens, New York). This band sound remarkably like Pale Lights, but the lineup is sort of an all-star one: Kyle Forrester (Crystal Stilts), Hampus Öhman-Frölund (drummed with many including Jens Lekman) and the aforementioned Gary Olson.
There have been many Love, Burns/Pale Lights posts over the years but I will repeat my RIYL: Felt, Lloyd Cole, Edwyn Collins, and many many more.
This is being co-released by Kleine Untergrund Schallplatte (KUS) and Jigsaw Records.
