MALORY
CD
Not Here Not Now
Clairecords
The debut album from Dresden band Malory, completely remastered and including two bonus tracks (one of them hidden/unlisted), originally released on German label Alison in 2000. Malory craft their beautiful, blissful sonic sound with brilliant sheets of effected guitars, drawing comparisons to the unmistakable gorgeous guitar work of Slowdive. Although the band implement the classic shoegaze-band instrumentation lineup - three guitarists, male & female vocals, drums, and bass - they definitely do not fall into the trap of countless other "ripoff" bands, but rather expand on these gorgeous sounds to create some of the most lush dreampop soundscapes in what seems like eons. Their monumental orchestral-shoegaze opuses and ethereal vocals have drawn comparisons to Slowdive, Spiritualized, Lush, My Bloody Valentine, Curve, Chapterhouse, et al. Tracklist: “Falling”, “Spring”, “Underwater”, “Dany”, “Just Be”, “Beauty”, “Sunday Night”, “Words” and “Worry About Something”.

THE MANHATTAN LOVE SUICIDES
CD
The Manhattan Love Suicides
Magic Marker
The Manhattan Love Suicides perform gigs that never last over 15 minutes and are drowned in waves of blistering feedback and guitar noise, but this album proves to anyone who has seen them and doubted their songwriting ability that they can produce the catchiest of pop tunes reminiscent of The Shop Assistants, The Jesus And Mary Chain, The Rosehips and The Fizzbombs with a bit of Sonic Youth, The Velvet Underground, Galaxie 500 and My Bloody Valentine thrown in too. So, if you don't automatically think of a shit nightclub when you hear the word Creation, or a girls name when you hear Sarah, or a sandwich shop when someone says Subway, and you actually know what the fuck we're talking about here... then you need to get yourself a copy of this. Tracklist: “Things You've Never Done”, ”Skulls”, ”Evil Side”, ”Crush Whatever”, ”Thinking Is Killing Me”, ”(The Guy On The) 14th Floor”, ”Home”, ”Suzy Jones”, ”Kick It Back”, ”Negative Push”, ”Indian Summer” and “Providence”.

Math And Physics Club
Matinée
Highly anticipated debut album from indie darlings Math and Physics Club! The world fell in love with this Seattle band as soon as its debut “Weekends Away” was released in 2005. The EP sold out of its initial pressing in just a few months and has now earned the distinction as the best selling single on Matinée. The follow-up “Movie Ending Romance” was released later that year to worldwide acclaim and proved the success of the debut was no happy accident. The band spent the past year writing and recording its debut album and the results are truly spectacular. The self-titled album features ten highly melodic songs about relationships and heartbreak. From the first moment of the opening track you know you're in for a treat and it doesn't let up until the final note some 30 minutes later. If you’re into melodic and jangly pop acts such as The Lucksmiths, The Fairways, Belle & Sebastian, The Housemartins, The Smiths, The Softies or Acid House Kings you’ve got a friend in Math And Physics Club. A lovely debut album! Tracklist: “Darling, Please Come Home”, ”I Know What I Want”, ”April Showers”, ”Holidays And Saturdays”, ”La La La Lisa”, ”Look At Us Now”, ”You'll Miss Me”, ”Cold As Minnesota”, ”Such A Simple Plan” and ”Last Dance”.

Living In An Enid Blyton World
Kevin McGrother
”Living In An Enid Blyton World” is the fab debut album by British pop elegant Kevin McGrother. It all started back in the early 90’s with Just Like Alice, who later became Tickety-Boo, gigging around the pubs of North East England until Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber and his publishers found something in Tickety-Boo’s “Cantona” and called the laywers... “’They fought the lord, the lord won’ and the band crumbled away” as Kevin McGrother puts it. Now, ten years later, Kevin McGrother has collected his old songs and put together this lovely album filled with intelligent and funny lyrics. With songs ranging from jangly and catchy pop songs in an English 80’s pop tradition to some songs accompanied by only piano or accoustic guitar Kevin McGrother has created a varied album where the great songwriting is in focus. For fans of The Hit Parade, Another Sunny Day, The Housemartins ...and English 80’s indiepop in general. Tracklist: ”I'm Glad I'm Not Like You”, ”Haircut of the Century”, “A Week Of Wednesdays”, “Stephen”, “Living In An Enid Blyton World”, “Summer Starts On Sunday”, “Turn Your Life Around”, “The Night I Met Tracey Emin”, “The Same Old Story” and “You'll Never Know”.

The Story So Far
Cherry Red
“The Story So Far” is actually the first ever CD release by Mo-Dettes, an all-girl post punk/new wave/pop band that somehow has fallen into obscurity. Hopefully this Cherry Red reissue can put an end to that. This CD contains their only album (originally released in 1980) accompanied by five bonus tracks taken from their singles, including the classic single version of “White Mice”. Mo-Dettes is often compared to contemporary bands like The Slits and The Raincoats, which is partly deceptive because Mo-Dettes were a lot more pop-ish than those bands. Tracklist: “Fandango”, “Satisfy”, “Dark Park Creeping”, “The Kray Twins”, “Paint It Black”, “White Mouse Disco”, “Bedtime Stories./ Masochistic Opposite”, “Foolish Girl”, “Norman (He's No Rebel)”, “Sparrow”, “Milord”, “Bitta Truth”, “Two Can Play”, “Tonight”, “Waltz In Blue Mirror” and “White Mice”.
