█░█ Who's who on "The Kids At The Club" █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Voxtrot █░█
█░█ With one foot in the library and the other on the █░█
█░█ dancefloor, Austin, Texas five piece Voxtrot █░█
█░█ combine classic 60's pop (think Love and Left █░█
█░█ Banke) with the heady, subversive sounds of 80's █░█
█░█ Britain and still come out ahead of their time. █░█
█░█ "The Start Of Something" was their debut single. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ I'm From Barcelona █░█
█░█ A 29 piece collective from Sweden, I'm From █░█
█░█ Barcelona marry the joyous energy of the Hidden █░█
█░█ Cameras with the symphonic pop of the Polyphonic █░█
█░█ Spree to create 2006's most uplifting sound. They █░█
█░█ recently stole the show at the Primavera Sound █░█
█░█ festival inàwhere elseàBarcelona, where they were █░█
█░█ forced to play their debut single "We're From █░█
█░█ Barcelona" twice by an ecstatic crowd. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Irene █░█
█░█ What do they put in the water in Sweden? █░█
█░█ Gothenburg's nine strong Irene are the HDIF ethos █░█
█░█ made flesh - a handclapping, hip-shaking, █░█
█░█ trumpet-bolstered blend of indie pop, northern █░█
█░█ soul, girl groups, the American west coast sound █░█
█░█ and crooner pop. "Stardust" was a radio hit in █░█
█░█ Sweden, but this is its first release. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Saturday Looks Good To Me █░█
█░█ What can we say about the magnificent Saturday █░█
█░█ Looks Good To Me? A perfect pop six piece from █░█
█░█ Ann Arbor, Michigan, SLGTM create their own █░█
█░█ sublime dreamworld where Jonathan Richman fronts █░█
█░█ The Supremes and The Smiths are signed to Motown. █░█
█░█ This is the first release for "Edison Girls", █░█
█░█ which singer Fred Thomas describes as "our answer █░█
█░█ to æThis Charming Man'". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Butcher Boy █░█
█░█ Having been at the heart of the UK's indiepop █░█
█░█ scene for the last four years as the man behind █░█
█░█ Glasgow's legendary National Pop League club █░█
█░█ night, John Hunt is now stepping out with a group █░█
█░█ of his own. Imagine Tindersticks, Felt, Lloyd █░█
█░█ Cole, Morrissey, and songs to die for. This is █░█
█░█ their debut release. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Lucky Soul █░█
█░█ Heralded as being "almost indecently fabulous" by █░█
█░█ the Guardian, Lucky Soul are a female fronted █░█
█░█ five piece from Greenwich, who sound like The █░█
█░█ Pipettes flirting with Saint Etienne, all sleek █░█
█░█ sixties melodies and songs to make your heart █░█
█░█ melt. "Give Me Love" was the b-side of their █░█
█░█ debut single. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Fanfarlo █░█
█░█ A three piece from London, Fanfarlo play fragile, █░█
█░█ romantic orchestral pop in thrall to Sufjan █░█
█░█ Stevens, The Field Mice and Arcade Fire. This is █░█
█░█ the first release for "Elephant Graveyard". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Salty Pirates █░█
█░█ A five piece from Gothenburg, Salty Pirates █░█
█░█ infuse the infectious, ramshackle pop of early █░█
█░█ Pavement with their own gloriously sarcastic █░█
█░█ spirit. This is the first release for "Black █░█
█░█ Minds, White Lies", which has already been a █░█
█░█ dancefloor smash at HDIF. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Tender Trap █░█
█░█ Fronted by indie icon Amelia Fletcher (ex-Talulah █░█
█░█ Gosh, Heavenly, Marine Research), and for this █░█
█░█ track featuring Claudia Gonson of Magnetic █░█
█░█ Fields, Tender Trap play accomplished, classic █░█
█░█ indie pop. "Ampersand" is taken from their 2006 █░█
█░█ album, "6 Billion People". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Stars Of Aviation █░█
█░█ Citing their influences as "English and French █░█
█░█ folk music and pop music of the 60s", the nine █░█
█░█ piece Stars Of Aviation gently trace a line █░█
█░█ between the Ladybug Transistor and The █░█
█░█ Lucksmiths. They also feature a bassoon player █░█
█░█ and someone on violin and gongs - more gongs and █░█
█░█ bassoons in pop, say we! This is the first █░█
█░█ release for "Marie Et L'Accordeon". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Wintergreen █░█
█░█ A five piece from London, Wintergreen create █░█
█░█ classy pop music with chugging guitars, bloopy █░█
█░█ analogue synths, tinkly pianos and shiny, sunny █░█
█░█ harmonies as though Mercury Rev were dirtying up █░█
█░█ Belle & Sebastian with ideas of Aphex Twin and █░█
█░█ Stereolab. "The Magic Road" was their debut █░█
█░█ single. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Shimura Curves █░█
█░█ An all-female four piece from London, Shimura █░█
█░█ Curves play pristine electro pop in the vein of █░█
█░█ Stereolab and St Etienne. This is the first █░█
█░█ release for "Noyfriend". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ The Gresham Flyers █░█
█░█ London-based sextet The Gresham Flyers are the █░█
█░█ hybrid of their diverse geographical backgrounds █░█
█░█ (north, midlands, south and Slough) and the best █░█
█░█ bits of your record collection, all sprinkled █░█
█░█ with a little sugar - David Gedge fronting an █░█
█░█ unruly combination of Sparks and Pulp. Classy, █░█
█░█ energetic pop, boy/girl singers, handclaps, and █░█
█░█ hooks you can hang your duffel coat on. This is █░█
█░█ the first release for "Blackpool". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Language Of Flowers █░█
█░█ A five piece from Belfast and London, Language Of █░█
█░█ Flowers play heartstopping indie pop in the vein █░█
█░█ of the Shop Assistants, Heavenly and Stars. This █░█
█░█ is the first release for "You'reThe One". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Amida █░█
█░█ Had the Go-Betweens hailed from Manchester, they █░█
█░█ may well have sounded a little like Amida: █░█
█░█ quietly cool, gloriously romantic, indie pop █░█
█░█ janglers with a pocketful of poetry and a headful █░█
█░█ of steam. "Virtue Was Your Downfall" was on their █░█
█░█ debut EP. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Strange Idols █░█
█░█ A five piece influenced by Orange Juice, Elastica █░█
█░█ and The Long Blondes, Strange Idols play cool, █░█
█░█ clever, indie pop. This is the first release for █░█
█░█ "She's Gonna Let You Down Again". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Pocketbooks █░█
█░█ Pocketbooks are an indiepop group from London, █░█
█░█ brought together through a shared love of █░█
█░█ tambourines, handclaps, glockenspiels, jangly █░█
█░█ guitars and boy/girl harmonies. Think █░█
█░█ Tindersticks, Belle & Sebastian, The Boy Least █░█
█░█ Likely To. This is the first release for "The █░█
█░█ First World Record". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Fosca █░█
█░█ Led by Dickon Edwards, writer, flΓneur, model and █░█
█░█ all-round 21st century fop, London's Fosca are █░█
█░█ currently working on their third album, 'The █░█
█░█ Painted Side Of The Rocket'. For fans of literate █░█
█░█ indie pop with an eye for the absurd. This is the █░█
█░█ first release for "I've Agreed To Something I █░█
█░█ Shouldn't Have". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Suburban Kids With Biblical Names █░█
█░█ Trumpets! Handclaps! Happiness! Swedish six piece █░█
█░█ Suburban Kids With Biblical Names say they want █░█
█░█ to "turn all of the dancefloors into a burning █░█
█░█ inferno of ba-ba-ba" - and who are we to stop █░█
█░█ them? Imagine Magnetic Fields with a cheeky grin █░█
█░█ on their face, Jens Lekman with a spring in his █░█
█░█ step and a host of infectious DIY pop melodies up █░█
█░█ his sleeve. "Seems To Be On My Mind" is taken █░█
█░█ from their debut album. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ █░█

█░█ Pitchfork Review: █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ This summer marked the 20th anniversary of the █░█
█░█ NME's C-86 compilation. The 22 songs on this █░█
█░█ mail-order cassette are so widely venerated for █░█
█░█ propelling cute, jangly indie pop-- yes, twee-- █░█
█░█ to cult popularity that it might as well be true. █░█
█░█ Never mind that the tape included plenty of █░█
█░█ raucous and discordant bands, or that C-81 was █░█
█░█ clearly better. It's far from surprising, but █░█
█░█ still twitterpating, then, that UK club night How █░█
█░█ Does It Feel to Be Loved? has chosen to release █░█
█░█ new indie pop comp The Kids at the Club. Like its █░█
█░█ precursor, or our collective impression of it, █░█
█░█ this CD-06 (if you will) culls together a variety █░█
█░█ of sweet, bouncy, melodic, and dorky guitar pop, █░█
█░█ with a few moments of quiet genius easily █░█
█░█ offsetting some modest flaws. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ The aggressive wimpyness of C-86 and progeny is █░█
█░█ the focus here, but their awkward primitivism █░█
█░█ remains mostly lost down the memory hole. I'm █░█
█░█ From Barcelona's "We're From Barcelona" is, of █░█
█░█ course, the opposite of "lo-fi"-- a ska-speckled █░█
█░█ ode to joy (and friendship), sung by a choir of █░█
█░█ love/hateable Swedes-- and it's among the █░█
█░█ giddiest indie pop delights in recent memory. █░█
█░█ Other highlights are nearly as polished, though █░█
█░█ some groups, like Swedish goofs Suburban Kids █░█
█░█ With Biblical Names, tend to dirty things back up █░█
█░█ a bit. Shimura Curves carefully apportion █░█
█░█ electro-pop, Jesus & Mary Chain fuzz, and █░█
█░█ bilingual romantic confusion on sparkly █░█
█░█ "Noyfriend", while fellow Londoners the Gresham █░█
█░█ Flyers toy with panning synth effects amid the █░█
█░█ boy/girl harmonies of "Blackpool". Elegant string █░█
█░█ arrangements and hushed Belle & Sebastian vocals █░█
█░█ on the Butcher Boy's "Days Like These Will be the █░█
█░█ Death of Me" lead into a bath-draining guitar █░█
█░█ outro straight from Blur's Modern Life Is Rubbish █░█
█░█ moper "Resigned". █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Indeed, another difference between The Kids at █░█
█░█ the Club and the indie pop canon is the very █░█
█░█ nostalgia entailed by such an endeavor. The █░█
█░█ Pastels, Talulah Gosh, and the Field Mice all had █░█
█░█ obvious influences, but true to press-release █░█
█░█ clichΘ, they carved out identifiable sounds of █░█
█░█ their own; here even above-average bands █░█
█░█ sometimes seem like worshipful echoes of █░█
█░█ yesterday's heroes more than exemplars of today's █░█
█░█ greatness. Austin's Voxtrot basically take the █░█
█░█ rhythm and vocal tics of the Smiths' "This █░█
█░█ Charming Man" and leave out everything that might █░█
█░█ be awkward during dorm room intimacy: "Don't call █░█
█░█ me boring/ It's just 'cause I like you." █░█
█░█ London-based Lucky Soul jack much more than a █░█
█░█ beat from "Be My Baby", and their ebullient "Give █░█
█░█ Me Love" suffers for the comparison, while █░█
█░█ Language of Flowers' "You're the One" would be █░█
█░█ one of the few tracks here wispy enough for Sarah █░█
█░█ Records if it weren't just like the Cure's "Just █░█
█░█ Like Heaven". A true pop kid might not mind, but █░█
█░█ a critic wants more. █░█
█░█ █░█
█░█ Nevertheless, The Kids at the Club is a fine █░█
█░█ introduction to current indie pop up-and-comers, █░█
█░█ complete with detailed liner notes. Both longtime █░█
█░█ followers of the scene and curious newbies will █░█
█░█ all likely find their own tracks to love, from █░█
█░█ Swedish 60s obsessives Irene's Jens Lekman-esque █░█
█░█ "Stardust" to Manchester-based Amida's "Virtue █░█
█░█ Was Your Downfall" with its Easybeats guitars, to █░█
█░█ synth-led London group Fosca's neurotic rallying █░█
█░█ cry "I've Agreed to Something I Shouldn't Have". █░█
█░█ The beloved Amelia Fletcher, who fronted Talulah █░█
█░█ Gosh and Heavenly, even makes an appearance with █░█
█░█ her current group, Tender Trap, declaring █░█
█░█ independence amid the Pixies-like loud-soft of █░█
█░█ "Ampersand". The more indie pop changes, the more █░█
█░█ it-- "Oh well," the Wedding Present sang to end █░█
█░█ the original C-86, "I hope you understand." █░█
█░█ █░█
