More goodness this week.... It's great... I have a few days off and come back to a load of great new releases. The Still Corners have released a brilliant 6 track CD only EP. I've no idea what label it's on as I can't see any info on there at all so I can only assume it's self released. 'Remember Pepper' is it's name and it's 6 tracks of 60's influenced indie pop. Think Broadcast, Adventures In Stereo and Camera Obscura all in a big sandwich and you're the bread. Mmmm... vicar..... It's inspired by French film, Gainsbourg etc and you can completely hear it in the music. It's a huge homage to Broadcast if I'm honest but its done so well I can't but help love it. It's smashing pop music and in the absence of anyone else making this sort of music now (I didn't really get the last Broadcast album) this EP makes me supremely happy. I can see the colour wheels now....
Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

Building dreamy noir-pop love songs like Alfred Hitchcock built suspense, Greenwich based Still Corners create a kaleidoscope world around them, full of wintry melody, swirling organ, and big drums.

Recently they have just released their exciting new EP "Remember Pepper?", "...a collage of broken dreams, retro vibe, heart-stopping vocals, and superb Specter-esque production." WMAR Radio
