...according to our Brian on 25 June 2009.

More indie shenanigans, more 4 track 7" goodness. A four-way split betwixt Half Handed Cloud (perky, wonky lo-fi pop with sweet fey harmonies - happy strides collapsing into off-kilter wistfulness with a cracking violin & a delicious whistling refrain) SJ Esau (Twinkly post Anticon wired-pop with a manic acoustic strum & an altogether thrilling disposition) Suburban Kids With Biblical Names (strummy lo-fi electro pop with sing-song lyrics - Of Montreal meets Casiotone/Magnetic Fields - Gorgeous!) and finally Kopek (a brief slice of home made meandering folk pop with real charm) A really endearing bunch of bedroom indie pop with real soul & fire! One Inch Badge records are responsible!

Love this record? Hate it? Tell us.

What their label says...

Following on from Volume 1 (featuring Munch Munch; Gay Against You; Lonely Ghosts; The Tumbledown Estate) comes OIB Records Split Series Volume 2.

Limited to just 450 copies worldwide, with reversible gatefold sleeves, inserts, and one-inch badges.

Features the following tracks.....

SJ Esau: ‘Part of a Diagram’. Hot off the heels of his second album proper for Anticon comes the new SJ Esau recording ’Part of a Diagram’. In just three and a half minutes SJ Esau delivers driving guitar riffs, hypnotic drum rhythms, multi-layered off-kilter chanting, and delicate piano, all wrapped around his distinctive yet humble vocal delivery.

Half-handed Cloud: ‘When Overwhelmed With Dread’. Marking his first release since the ’Winding Currents on a Spool EP’ in 2007, ’When Overwhelmed With Dread’ is Half-handed Cloud at his absolute finest. John Ringhofer aka Half-handed Cloud offers up a musically complex and joyful avant-pop track that’s as thought-provoking as it is exciting. Half-handed Cloud also plays in Danielson and Sufjan Steven’s Illinoisemakers

Suburban Kids With Biblical Names: ‘God Save Roger Nichols’. After a way too long hiatus, Sweden’s finest electro-twee-pop outfit are back with the four minute pop opus ’God Save Roger Nichols’.

Kopek: ‘The Way You Are’. Following their debut self-release ’Lost at Sea EP’, Kopek release ’The Way You Are’, a heart-warming two minute pop masterpiece.
