New sounds: 15/1/24

Murder Club - Pictures Of Myself
You may have seen that the Newport 'sugarpunks' are coming round ours in just under seven weeks' time for the Leicester Indiepop Alldayer (tickets long since sold out, soz); what we haven't had from them is any new music since their Sour Candy EP in February 2022. That's changing soon with a second EP, a concept one at that, Night Out describing the titular event starting with the preparation phase, delivered in the kind of melodically classic indiepop, twee as they used to call it if they were particularly brave, that has the kind of semi-buried edge that Peaness fans will recognise. Heavenly do-do-do's too.



Dancer - Passionate Sunday
For a group made up of members of several longer established Glasgow bands Dancer are hella productive, two EPs in quick succession last year being followed on March 15th by an album, 10 Songs I Hate About You. The first cut starts pensively before striking out with an angular, strident bassline, Gemma Fleet actually singing this time around and a yo-yoing synth line that presumably comes from that synthpad contraption those who've seen them live knows the guitarist straps onto his instrument. Splendid.
