Ive been listening to these guys for as long as I knew what good music was. I don't know how popular they are, but I thought I'd help get them some recognition here. New album must be on the way with these new singles!

Tycho is back! Luckily there aren't rule yet on how fresh a track has to be. Though it was released only 10 days ago.

Gotta say, I think this song is a sign of a more "rock band" heavy vibe for this album.

Looking forward to this new album. All the singles have been lit.

For today, I will be showing something truly special. It's not only of musical value, or even monetary value, its of truly historically valuable on its impact on indie music. I am the very happy owner of an original 1980 copy of Orange Juice's Falling and Laughing. This is the record that truly kicked off the indie-pop sound that we've come to know from the mid to late 80s, to the 90s, and even the 2000s.

This record came in a run of only 934 copies, and went on to launch Postcard Records as a label to influence bands like Franz Ferdinand, The Wedding Present, Belle and Sebastian, King Krule, The Cribs, The Smiths (though only slightly), the C86 scene of the mid 80s, the twee pop of labels like Sarah (Field Mice, Another Sunny Day, The Orchids, Brighter, Heavenly, etc) and K (Beat Happening), and many more. It is a marvel to now be an owner of a copy of this record. Not only that, this is also one of only 200 copies out of the 934 copy run that has the extra postcard included with it (This one being a pair of pliers). This also includes the extra flexi disc that was sometimes included with this record.

This is a valuable piece of music history that ought to be preserved in archives and I feel Orange Juice deserves some mention in music history for the impact this record and the Postcard singles that followed had on modern music.

I love the Fediverse and have been promoting Lemmy & our alternative music community on Mastodon for over a month now. It's getting pretty active and we are sharing all kinds of music from 80s college rock to today's indie every day.

But somehow it seems lemmy.ml hasn't heard yet! Nearly 1000 subscribers on lemmy.world, but like 17 from lemmy.ml? Oh fediverse, you minx you.

Well, time to change that! I'm spreading the good word for alternative music fans to join & share.

Some classic Sarah Records indie pop.

A bit of a slower week for me at least. I have a handful of albums I plan to check out but nothing I'm particularly excited about.

Please share any new releases from this week that you guys are excited about!

Holy shit it's so good, the original doesn't even come close to it! 🤯

Loving this song at the moment. (Not sure if it qualifies as indie). Another song in the same slowcore genre that I'm loving: Death Cab for Cutie's cover of The Plan. Could anyone point me to other similar songs?

What new releases this week are you guys looking forward to?

I've already checked out and recommend the following new albums.

Local Natives - Time Will Wait for No One

PJ Harvey - I Inside the Old Year Dying

Alice Phoebe Lou - Shelter
