its been a good week of new acquisitions. In particular, a bumper crop of Asian indiepop finds (YAY! For I do hail from this desolate musical wasteland). for a region that's been traditionally devoid of great indiepop bands, I've found quite a few new ones over the last week.
Astrolab (Indonesian)
These guys are quite lovely in a Blueboy sort of way. You'll certainly hear touches of If Wishes Were Horses here. But my favourite is a track in their native Bahasa language Lara Jiwa which is spacey and spectral with glittering guitars raining all over the track. Check them out here:
