We are young, we are free
Keep our teeth nice and clean
See our friends, see the sights
Feel alright

Well today I accidentally stumbled upon a song which reminded me of the above few lines from Supergrass' "Alright". The song in question is "Days Of Youth" and it brought memories of summer and careless days. To be honest the whole demo which you can hear below is filled with the essence if youth and the feeling of freedom. These lads from England make music that fuses catchy pop tunes with some surf vibes and all that is complemented with some really good lo-fi post-rock noises. This is the kind of music that will make your summer experience well worth it.

Днес случайно попаднах на песен, която ми напомни за горните редове от песента на Supergrass "Alright". Въпросната песен е "Days Of Youth" и докато я слушах, в главата ми изплуваха спомени за лятото и безгрижните дни. Честно казано, струва ми се, че цялото демо, което можеш да чуеш по-долу, е пропито от духа на младостта и от чувство за свобода. Тези момчета от Англия правят доста приятна смесица от поп музика със сърф настроение и всичко това допълнено с доста добри lo-fi пост-рок звуци. Това е вида музика, който ще направи лятото ви незабравимо.

Gardens & Villa - "Star Fire Power"

Gardens & Villa, the dream-pop quintet which I already mentioned in my blog a propos of their video for "Black Hills" are back with new album and new single. The album's called Star Fire Power as well as the debut single from it.

Gardens & Villa, дрийм-поп квинтета за който вече писах във връзка с тяхното видео към песента "Black Hills", се завръщат с нов албум и нова песен. Албумът, който вече се разпространява отвъд Атлантика се казва Star Fire Power. От него е и едноименния дебютен сингъл, който можеш да намериш по-долу.

Tamaryn - Love Fade/Dawning/Sandstone

I just couldn't help but to share this three damn good songs by american shoegaze act Tamaryn from the 2010 debut album The Waves.

Dreamboy

Dreamboy. Not matter what anyone says for me that's the best band to come out of Sweden in recent years. Love Scandinavia for all the great band that it gave to the world. Sweden is particularly favorite amongst all for the really diverse and original bands that came from there. But my most favorite swedish band of all is none other than Dreamboy. What's not to love about that band. Catchy pop tunes combined with dreamy guitars and complemented with lovely even naive to some extend lyrics. Romantic souls will automatically fall in love with this band. Dream-pop just could never sound better than this. So far the band has one album, the debut It Means The World To Me but a second one is in the making. Really love this guys.

French Films

It's warm, sunny and the summer is right behind the corner. So why not listen to something cheerful and upbeat, a reminder of the days ahead. I present you French Film, super-cute indie, dream-pop band from Finland which to some extend reminded me of the wonderful NYC band The Drums with it's positive vibe. Formed last year this this five-piece finnish band already cough attention with it's debut release Golden Sea EP which btw you can check below. Dreamy and catchy tunes is what this record is notable for. Really nice music to go with the summer days.

Luminous Orange

Every once in a while we all stumble upon something so good that we momentarily fall in love with. I'm sure we all have at least one such band or artist. But many decide to keep this little treasure for themselves. Well I know that all too well. But there's bands and artists that I feel we all should talk about. Anyways here's one such band that some of you might be familiar with, others not. I've been listening to it for years but it seems that they were never popular like other acts from Japan.
The band I'm referring to is Luminous Orange originally a four-piece all-girl indie-rock band, now a solo project of it's founder Rie Takeuchi. Despite the line-up changes the style remains the same, dreamy pop songs combined with shoegaze. Formed in 1992 Luminous Orange have five studio albums and couple of mini ones. Shared stage with the likes of Yo La Tengo and worked with renown local and foreign artists. Truly a wonderful band that if you ask me deserves far more recognition that it already have. I wish I could one day see this band performing live.

Blouse

Here's this cute and relatively new shoegaze/dream-pop band Blouse I stumbled upon while looking for some new music. The band is signed to Subpop and has just two released singles to my knowledge but that doesn't stop them from being so awesome. It's interesting what they'll put out next.
