Felt - Forever Breathes the Lonely World

Download

Tonight on UCLAradio.com I'll be doing a Creation Records themed show. If it was up to me, I'd lock myself up in the station and play this record all day long. Tune in from 6-8PM PST.

Duncan Dhu - Duncan Dhu

Download

If Caifanes was the Spanish Cure, then Duncan Dhu was the Spanish Smiths. Maybe I'm a little biased because the singer's solo stuff introduced me to the Smiths, but there are a lot of similarities between both groups: jangly pop guitar and pompous front man are the first two that come to mind.
Anyway, this was a band that I listened to a lot growing up so I was very surprised to learn that Creation records had released one of their albums. Actually it's a compilation of previously released material to introduce the band to an English audience.

Devine & Statton - The Prince of Wales

Download

Hmm, two poppy female fronted albums back to back? Never thought I'd see the day...
This album had been on my iTunes for over a year when one of the songs came on my shuffle and I had one of those "I can't believe I didn't listen to this sooner" moments. Minimal acoustic duo consisting of the singer from Young Marble Giants (Devine) and the guitarist from Ludus (Statton). Their first of two albums released on legendary Belgian label Les Disques Du Crepuscule. Includes an amazing New Order cover:

Black Tambourine - S/T

Download.

A big thanks to Paul for sending me this. He's a huge stud. Anyway, it's Black Tambourine! C'mon man, you don't know who they are? The Pastels meets the Jesus And Mary Chain to make the best Slumberland band that never was. Were only together for two years, never did a proper tour or album, etc. This is a retrospective re-release of their Complete Recordings with new songs.

Sunny Sundae Smile

You've probably heard Loveless and maybe even Isn't Anything, but have you heard anything before that? These are my two favorite releases by MVB when they were much poppier, guess you can compare it to early JAMC, and Dave Conway did vocals.

If Jesus Had Machine Guns - Vol. 1

Download.

If Jesus Had Machine Guns is the moniker under which Connecticut native Jimi Patterson releases his lo fi bedroom recordings. After hearing Dan Barrett (Have A Nice Life) rave about him for months I decided to check it out and was very impressed. Unique blend of catchy pop melodies with post punk, goth, and shoegaze all laced in there.
