NYC trio: Trinket coalesces new shades of jangle-pop dreaminess on debut EP ‘New Hobby’
Trinket are a fresh new entry into the increasingly growing stir of jangle-pop bands. With their previous singles fusing shimmering, sweet guitar riffs and featherlight dream pop sensibilities well enough to book them for this year’s SXSW, I was excited to see what a fuller length exploration of their sound would be like. ‘New Hobby’ …
PREMIERE: Vermont’s Tom Weir readies new EP as Old Moon, shares jangle-pop smash ‘All It Takes’
It would be fair to say Tom Weir’s been putting in work. In the past year alone, the Vermont-based artist has released two albums, a rarities compilation, an EP and a single, and he shows no signs of slowing down with his output of winsome, jangly, melodic post-punk.

Track: Wildhoney – Naive Castle
Slumberland Records have been a mighty presence within the independent community since their formation 30 years ago. This is a label who have worked with such indie luminaries as The Pains of Being Pure at Heart, Stereolab, Dum Dum Girls and even Flying Nun alum Robert Scott via. The Bats. Risky to some but perhaps …
