Talulah Gosh - Steaming Train

[30-yo-records]

Heavenly  - Atta Girl (Sarah Records)

#AttaGirl de Heavenly es básicamente un EP que narra una historia repulsiva en poco menos de 15 minutos, a la vez que muestra lo que una banda anhela rara vez: romper con sus orígenes para crear un material que contrarrestara el sonido que dominaba “la escena”. 

Pero esta grabación causó el efecto contrario: hizo de la banda uno de los actos definitivos del sonido “twee” en Gran Bretaña. Y es que en Atta Girl (1993) se escucha a la banda sonar más “celestial” que nunca, baterías alegres, guitarras a la #JoeySantiago y letras con mayor profundidad narrativa de lo que en su momento les permitió Talulah Gosh, agrupación de donde surge Heavenly. 

En su momento, Amelia Flecther, líder de la banda, comentó en una entrevista para Penny Black Music que Atta Girl le permitió a Heavenly ser "menos obsesionadas con hacer punk rock y más por hacer buenas canciones y tocarlas bien”, y eso es justo lo que ofrece este EP: 5 grandes canciones que muestran una evolución sin filtro de una banda.

Para el año siguiente, Heavenly lo había conseguido: ya no eran más las chicas punk de Oxoford obsesionadas con los beatniks. Eso sí, sin dejar de lado el toque irónico y audaz en las letras de Amelia, que incluso sigue sacando de vez en cuando en uno que otro proyecto, como lo hace desde hace más de 30 años.

Recomendado 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A nght of indie pop and taking me back to my Pooh Sticks days.  Swansea Sound are a supergroup of 80's indie pop with members from The Pooh Sticks, Heavenly/Talulah Gosh, The Dentists, Death in Vegas to name a few.  I never ever got round to seeing The Dentist's but I used to play their Album to death.  It was a fun night.

KIDNAPPED BY INDIE SCENESTERS -- APOCALYPSE PUNK REIGNS ETERNAL.

Man, I've known about a band like TG for yeeeears now on account of their posthumous connection with fellow indie scenesters, K Records, but I've still yet to look into TG's music in the slightest. Of course, I'm reblogging this from more of a DISCHARGE angle, but it's still a really great twist and/or homage to the UK "real punk" look of the early '80s.

Dis nightmare still @$!*&#% continues!!

SO RAD. Regram from @timothyradar !

my mom keeps looking at my haircut and frowning and telling me to wear a headband lol she just doesnt get my twee dyke swag

[eggmeralda]

by the end of my dissertation I'm either gonna become the world's most unhealthily obsessive 80s indie pop fan or I'm gonna become so allergic to it that hearing the slightest jangle on a guitar will cause me to evaporate instantly

OK most like boring ramble coming but….

it is throwing me for a loop how people are calling the like jessica day/she&him, ingrid michaelson, ukulele-playing, modcloth dresses hipster culture of the 2010s “twee”. twee to me is still primarily music like sarah records, marine girls, talulah gosh… the jangly indie-pop / post-punk & post-rock scene of the 80s-90s? i was into both shit as a mid to late teen. i just have been referring to myself as post-twee for a while and w the new usage i keep having these super petty internal reactions even though technically the former is all twee in the sense of the barest principles of it. im just having a genuine hipster reaction to all this lol

why am like this

[upforabit]

hi hi hello !!! i have just Recently (like . today. i am SO excited) learned that theres ?? a whole genre similar to a band i am obsessed with (cub!!! ik you like them which is incredibly based they are my favorite ever) & i've been . Looking through your blog a little bit to Find Stuff (& i have . found SO MUCH. im !!!!!!!!) but i was wondering if you had a like . List? of bands you would recommend to someone New in the twee (??) scene (so new im so scared) !!

hey hey!! yeah totally! so i’ve been into twee for a while now and a lot of the stuff i post here less reflects the general stuff i think people should start with and more where i am now with my listening so! totally yeah :) fun facts you might find interesting about my relationship with cub is that 1) they were technically the first twee band i got into! while i say the pastels is what launched the interest for me, which it did, i’ve been listening to cub since i was a child! my dad was a fan and so i was really familiar with cub my whole life and 2) i’ve met a member of cub! Lisa G, their second drummer! she was really nice!

so cub is an interesting act because they basically invented a subgenre, ‘cuddlecore’ was originally defined to describe cub specifically! Pretty much all cuddlecore bands would also be considered twee though, so i’ll do a general list of where i’d start with a focus on cuddlecore/fast and cutesy stuff. (there are some other classic twee bands like the pastels, the field mice, beat happening, rocketship, the softies, gaze, blueboy and stuff like that- but i think those would less match the vibe you’re interested in, but worth checking out regardless.)

so, basically the list i’d start you with is:

-Heavenly

-Tiger Trap

-Go Sailor

-Tullycraft

-Bunnygrunt

-Talulah Gosh

-All Girl Summer Fun Band

as bands that i think are important for you to know- and then i’d also add

-peach kelli pop

-helen love

-best friends forever

-dressy bessy

-sissy bar

for a few more bands you might enjoy!! i hope this helped a bit. good luck and always reach out if you need any help on finding anything or want to know which albums or songs to start with!
