Swedish faves Boa Constrictor are back with "Plush" from their "On My To Die" ep which can sling them a couple of bucks for at their bandcamp. It's also their first recordings with Elin on lead vocals, Amanda having left ( sadly ) after "Your Voice was Like Bowies"

More Ireland this time too, in the shape of Dublin's The Crayon Set, who released a self titled ( free ) ep late last year, the tracks from which you can download on their Soundcloud, they have also recorded their debut album, which will be out sometime ( soon I expect ) this year
Splashh are a duo from London, with a few offerings on their Soundcloud, plus a murmurs and rumours about a ( full album ) release later this year via Art is Hard Records
Canada's Sleuth I hope you know from ( and own a copy of ! ) their "Brave Knew Nothing ep" from last year ( they also appeared on the last Cloudberry fanzine )...you know all this I'm sure !! The track today is from some radio sessions they did in jan of this year for CiTR in Vancouver, available on their Bandcamp, as is the digi version of Brave Knew Nothing, the physical cassettes now all sold ( including the 16 copy only re-issue. 16 only ?!?? ha ha I love It )
Star Tropics I dunno a lot about - other than they are from Chicago and a have a few demos up on their Soundcloud, and that I heard them via from long time listener Jose Antonio, that's all I know !! Enlighten me if you will :)
The Gentle Isolation are one the many great Filipino pop bands around at the mo, and they are apparentely re-releasing their prev Lilystars ep "It Started With an April Shower" via Dufflecoat soon ( in a limited edition of 50 ). I already have this via iTunes but will get physical product as well ( gotta love "physical" ). The Andy B ( from the UK ) song we play today is also an upcoming split ep on Dufflecoat ( with Sex Sux from Indonesia ).
The Ice Cream Shout track was a demo mix of an upcoming song from their next release, released to co-incide with a recent gig they played. All abit sketchy on this next release of theirs, I will let you know how and where to get it as soon as I can :)
Barcelona's Coach Station Reunion have released a 7" ep on a tiny label called Discos de Kirlian, the label's 2nd ep. They will also be part of a 4 label special split release for Record Store Day 2012 - including a Sundae track.
PINS are from Manchester, Eleventh Hour from a now sold out ( dammit ) 3 track cassette, more to come from this mob for sure
and finally this mix would not be complete without some Indonesian shoegaze, another track via Bah! Records, the band Kapsul, from an ep with the excellent title "A Typical Moment You Would Be Happy To Put On Repeat" - the ep also featuring Silent Love - side project of Ganesha from Funny Little Dream, who we've played before and also have a 4 track ep called "Painted Smile" coming out on Dufflecoat.
