Another mix to end the week on featuring tracks that have grabbed my attention over the last week or so. Dreamy ethereal seems to be the main theme this week as tracks from Powder Pink &amp; Sweet, Swallowtail and Yndling demonstrate. Draining and OutControlJoys take it up a notch whilst Sugar For The Pill and Jeanines provide tracks from their new or forthcoming albums. Not forgetting the new singles from Slowcoaching and Deary either.

end of terrace to be fair. Not much posting but plenty of listening and 
enough to populate a new mix. As ever it's a fine combination of 
indiepop, shoegaze, tweepop and janglepop to tickle anyones fancy. As 
ever, enjoy!Photo by Anna Evans on Unsplash

There has not been a lot of posting this month but plenty of listening instead which means we have reached the third sampler of the month. That must be a new erm, "record" for me. However given the excellent music being released this month what alternative do I have? There are excellent singles from the likes of Cola, Ryli, Coral Grief, Soft Cult, Maquillage and the returning Tchotchke. Some choice album cuts too from The High Water Marks, Soot Sprite and Artificial Go whose quirky post-punk album is a firm fave already. There is also the very interesting new double a-side from Poloklubben.

Another week of busyness that has meant I have not posted of late. However I have managed to carry on listening regardless so here is another sampler with the pick of the crop. A mix of indiepop and ethereal shoegaze that should entice your ears. And is it me or does that Club 8 track sound like a remix of Never Understand?

It's been such an amazing start to May weather wise here in the UK and I have to say music wise too. None more so after my inbox was flooded by emails this past Bandcamp Friday. A comeback single from Off Models, a new album alert from Autocamper, the return of The Beths and new EP's from Bleach Lab and Say Sue Me feature in this "pack". Also there is a track from the new to me Tan Cologne who must be the first band I have heard via Labrador Records, a label which featured so much in my listening habits 12-15 years ago but rather less so now.

An action packed 18 tunes&nbsp;in under 58 minutes or so 
this month. Alongside a shedload of tunes from Indonesia there is a bit 
of a focus on Skep wax Records, with three tracks taken from forthcoming
 releases. We have two tracks from Precious Recordings of London 
International Pop Underground 7" series whilst we have the wonderful 
debut single from Amelia &amp; The Housewives too. That one is out on 
Damaged Goods. Not to mention the anthemic comeback single from Sugar 
For The Pill. Phew. Enjoy!Photo by Liquid Artiste on Unsplash

I started putting this sampler together a fortnight ago and just when it was ready another track came along and I had to include it. Still I managed to impose a limit or I would have been here to the end of the month minimum. That said I was still adding tracks as I was writing this which is a testimony to all the good music out there! These songs do not need my words, a single point of view, to describe them to you so press play and come to your own conclusion. As ever, enjoy!

I have been waylaid with vertigo over the past week or so, managing to get the one post in. I started putting this sampler together a fortnight ago and it's a bit longer than usual in order to highlight recent listening pleasures. Hopefully, this predominately shoegaze &amp; dreampop mix, will make you dizzy and giddy as me. Well within reason!

The sun is finally out in London Town and this playlist reflects that in the shape of slumbering dreampop, shimmering shoegaze, sparking indiepop and Swedish pop! The highlight of week for me is the 1960's inspired retro sounds of In Pathécolor by Now which is taken from their forthcoming new album Now Does The Trick.

It's Almost Like You're Here

I think I blinked and February whizzed by. Luckily I had a soundtrack to accompany me most of the time and a number of tracks can be found on this mix. A lovely return from The Royal Landscaping Society can be found alongside a blistering album track from The Daydream Twins. Throw in the new single from the eternal Primitives alongside another selection of Indonesian indie pop combined with shoegaze and dreampop from around the globe and we have a great sounding mix. Plug in, listen and as ever enjoy!Photo by Héloïse Appourchaux on Unsplash
