1/10/25.

Girls Names (Belfast, Northern Ireland) released a couple of my favorite albums back in the early 2010s (both on Slumberland). Their drummer (Neil Brogan)also went on to release several Sea Pinks LPs - also some of my favorites.

But, really, I stopped listening to Girls Names after "A New Life". Mistake. "Arms Around a Vision" (2015, Tough Love Records) is an amazing post-punk album that sounds like a cross between Joy Division/early New Order and Protomartyr (AllMusic also mentions Nick Cave). Cathal Cully's voice carries this album in a way not done on earlier releases.

Members have gone on to play in the aforementioned Sea Pinks and New Pagans.

This is a quiet place these days, but if any of you are still here - PAINS will be playing our first LP in its entirety in Feb/Mar 2025 in Spain + Portugal.

Tickets go on sale Tuesday, August 20: https://bnds.us/gl7in0

Peggy Wang, Kurt Feldman, Christoph Hochheim, and I will be on stage together for the first time in a *very* long time (2012?). Alex is dealing with some (very good) personal stuff this year, so Eddy Marshall (he also plays with me in The Natvral) will fill in on bass guitar.

Spain has always been special to us. It's a place that welcomed our music with an enthusiasm that blew our mind when we first came in 2009 - and has allowed us to come back for many incredible concerts (and cañas and calimochos) over the years.

We hope to see you there!

Reds, Pinks, & Purples - Fuchsia Dell (from Build Love ep)

I just love when Glenn Donaldson (Reds, Pinks, and Purples) does an instrumental song that you feel could have a melancholic and wordless short film to accompany it. That his song would serve as a great score, but you haven’t seen that film yet (but yet you already know how it would make you feel). Sigh!

lightheaded are a 3-piece band from Long Branch, New Jersey. Their cassette release last year on Slumberland. It received a fair amount of attention and rightfully so. It's great indie pop with a 60s flair. Now, the band is set to release a full LP on vinyl no less.

In an interview in 2021, the band described their influences as such:

We love The Pastels, mark that down first. Probably the reason we started the band. They set the template. The Feelies, New Jersey legends. Got to mention them. Stephen used to live in the same town as Stan! Dwight Twilley and Phil Seymour, we love all the sorta one-off power pop bands! Felt are very special to us. Belle and Sebastian. The Clientele’s first couple records... The Go-Betweens never missed... just cut us off now, we’ll take up the whole interview.

I still really feel there is a clear Aislers Set/Tele Novella sound going on here.

Video of The Day: The Laughing Chimes - High Beams

“The Laughing Chimes” song “High Beams” is a rich, atmospheric piece that blends wistful nostalgia with electrifying, almost cinematic soundscapes. As with much of The Laughing Chimes’ writing, this track has a sense of profound intimacy—a delicate balance between the personal and the universal. “High Beams” is a meditation on the tension between light and shadow, love and loss, the known and the…
