Nuggets 262 – Chug Chug 7

Chug chug chug.

This mix gets off to a cracking start with an excellent track from D. Vassalotti, then a recently released but old track from The Love Language before the keyboards of Polica start up.

Crystal Stilts have another album out. As you can hear in the interview below, they have taken their time. I love that dreamy jangly sound even though they can be a bit bloodless.

Bingo Trappers is an established Dutch lo-fi band. Manual for a Safe Trip is an excellent track. It’s taken from their 2001 album Juanita. Here it is on Spotify. https://play.spotify.com/album/5Gc39v0xekzfIHrxbQrMuz

Nuggets 195 – lofi and twangy

I am a man of simple tastes. Twangy guitars is one. Here is a twangy collection that would gladden Duane Eddy’s heart. I am hoping to catch up with some of the bands at SXSW, in particular Beach Fossils, TV Torso, The Twerps and (can’t wait…) The Wedding Present. I almost added some Associates, but that’s a different kind of twang. Instead we get St Christopher, a fellow Scottish band off a Sarah Records compilation.

(reads up on The Associates) Curious, I didn’t know that Robert Smith did backing vocals with MacKenzie on The Affectionate Punch.

Almost all tracks up.
