The days of Sarah Records et al are long gone. Indie is such a commodity now. Thing
is, it seems that now everyone is content embracing this kind of post punk
new wave mod garage that's being rehashed every week, only to reveal some
spindly bunch of mullet sporting chancers badly ripping off The Only Chameleons
& Psychedelic Jam Ones! However, REALindie (tm) is forcing open the doors of
the fashion zeitgeist to blow bubbles in the face of po-faced mediocrity. That's
why Fantastic Plastic have collected the stumbling day-glo wonderment of
Bearsuit's joyous 7" waxings & compiled 'em on one classic sounding CD.
It all makes utter sense. If Envelopes struck me as a bit off their trollies
with inspired glee then Bearsuit are their Brit counterparts. Too hat stand to
be truly twee, you could imagine them putting on an indie night that owes as
much affection to Napalm death as Talulah Gosh, such is the rampant wide eyed
skewed optimism of these vibrant whirlwinds of hairslide rock. Brill!
