South Ambulance – Davy Crockett
Indiecater time again and this time the precious audio comes from Northern Europe, Sweden to be precise. Are you excited yet? You should know by now about the Swedes and their unerring gift for exceedingly good music and so we wanted in on the action. And what better way to achieve that goal than by teaming up with Stockholm’s finest South Ambulance. The quintet are a godsend for anyone still pining for melody freckled shoegaze with spunky lyrics. ‘Davy Crockett’ is the lead song from the first of 3 EP’s that we are going to do together this year. It’s a lolloping delight enriched with cascading chords and sprightly vocals. If it takes your fancy then head over here where you can listen to the whole EP. We’re hoping you take a chance, take a chance, take a chance on them. KD

The Brilliant Trees – Don't Believe The Right
For those who’ve been out of the loop here is a quick recap on what has been happening on our sister pursuit the record label Indiecater Records. The latest release on our rapidly expanding catalogue is the debut from Finglas band the Brilliant Trees. ‘Friday Night’ was originally released in 1996 and despite widespread critical acclaim and a Top 20 hit in Ireland with ‘Talent’ the album has disappeared from view. Now thanks to the wonders of the technological age and much help from the band themselves we have reissued ‘Friday Night’. The album is awash with jangle pop classics and indie anthems and you can listen to them all on this page. Before you do that why not sample the band via ‘Don’t Believe The Right’ which features the not insubstantial charms of an AM radio on speed dial (before that sort of thing was invented). Once the hiss subsides you’ll be accosted by flickering chords, blissful harmonies and the sort of medicine you’d need to start any day on a bright note. All this and more for just €3.50, it’s time to wake up and dream. KD

Basement Apartment – Into My World
If I was pushed on what strand of indie gives me the most pleasure I’d have to say it is indie pop. Sort of like what Teenage Fanclub and the Very Most do whenever they step into a studio. In essence you know what you are going to get and for me that it is just bliss and also the easiest way to achieve mood enhancement. Basement Apartment fit neatly into that category, they never a put a song to bed before it has the requisite number of melodic hooks and beautifully turned out riffs. Vince Caro is the main man and it’s his soft vocals you hear on ‘Into My World’, which is taken from the band’s incredible Transistor! LP which was released in 2004. KD
