Fellow seekers after fresh pop brilliantness, rejoice...


The words 'bang' and 'on' spring instantly to mind, do they not? Taken from the latest Boy Omega album The ghost that broke in half which crept out in Europe late last year...
[boy omega][myspace]

...and if you like that you're likely to appreciate some even fresher greatness courtesy of matt pond PA. The building, instantly distinctive pulse of Starting is a (another) perfectly-constructed slice of keaning chamber pop and bodes well for upcoming new album The dark leaves. That bit from 2:25, holygoddamn! Hear here...
[mpPA]

And that yummy strummy indie just keeps on a-comin'. Everyone's favourite Belgian combo The Go Find (whaddya mean you've never.., etc) launch album no.3 Everybody knows its gonna happen only not tonight anytime now. No idea if it'll end up a rr Top Tenner like the last one in '07 but advanced party Automatic is super-likeable. They're over here supporting The Album Leaf in March...


[the go find]

And, blimey, here's that Gentleman Reg back again with yet more top pop (maybe that should be Generous Gentleman Reg!). And if Wild heart, newly up on his MySpace, had been on last year's Jet black the album may have inched higher in this blog's Top Ten [see last post]...

Staying in Canada, Corey W. Schmidt aka Scarboro Aquarium Club's cover of an old Andy Kim song called How'd we ever get this way has only had 20-or-so listens over on MySpace and about eight of those of reallyrather's. Lovely stuff in a She & Him stylee, help remedy this minor outrage now...
