Back from the dead, The Low Classics, having been banned from reddit and 'civilized' society write large, are moving to the fediverse.

We are excited to release a new record: "America's History" soon, and in anticipation of that are moving to the fediverse.

Enjoy this whispy nostalgic tune that brings us back to a simpler time; one when cowboys sold their souls to the devil for a case of cheap beer and the whole world wasn't quite so stupid.

Malesh from Italy

Trio from Bern, Switzerland. The song starts with one synth-bass note and a vocoder, and keeps asking: "Why don't I remember my future?" This is our first video.

Upon arriving in the United States for The Tubs’ first tour of the country, frontman Owen Williams told The New Yorker, “We’re here to unite the country.” They piled into a van and criss-crossed the States, bringing their literary, bleary-eyed, world-weary, night-of-your-life highwire act to the masses. Along the way, they signed to Merge Records, who will release The Tubs’ third full-length album, Hard Life, on September 11, 2026. Having perfected their sound across two albums and hundreds of shows, the London-based Celtic jangle boyband push themselves even further into the shimmering heart of virtuosic indie rock, with the addition of fiddle player Chris Haigh adding a key element to the album’s lushness.

On Hard Life, the persona familiar to listeners of Cotton Crown and Dead Meat is still present, but so too is a second voice, steelier and more experienced. These voices argue, pester one another, merge into each other, and break apart, sometimes over the course of a single song. Lead single “Who’s Gonna Love You Now?” puts the scold front and center, while the album explores grief, disappointment, regret, and shame, emerging from the wreckage as changed men. “I’m interested in the way sympathy and patience for someone suffering always runs out eventually,” Williams says. “How this can be a good and liberating thing as well as a sad and brutal thing. But mostly they’re just pop songs.” Exquisite, irresistible pop songs. Spin them until the healing starts, then spin them again.

Released September 11, 2026

Jangle all the way. A kinda surfier version of Camera Obscura here.

If you didn't know they are from Busan, you would swear that they are from Bristol and on Sarah Records in the late 80's. The only thing that gives them away is the higher production values of the recording than The Field Mice and maybe the phrasing and diction of the vocals.

This live, studio version is from this year, the song came out on an OST in 2025.

I cannot get enough of jaunty, jangle pop.

Another band that I've been following for a few years after my epiphany that Asia has a massive pool of stuff that is right up my alley.

motifs are a shoegaze band from Singapore and one for you if you are into Slowdive, Fazerdaze, Lush and so on.

And now it's time to say
What I forgot to say...

My aussie.zone account has gone weird, so posting this again from this alt.

Modern Indie Pop from Hamburg with an abrupt finale.

Wrap your listening gear around this, the opening track from GRUB's self-titled album.

A new band to me, they've appeared over the horizon from Western Australia with a menacing, and hard-hitting debut album. I'm sure they will draw some obvious comparisons but I can also hear a lot of connections across quite a lot of Australian rock from the last 50 years.

If you want to know more about the band, here's a 6 min interview from Australian radio.

35 years ago!

RIP Terry Hall.

#music #ukulele #indiemusic @MusicRadar @alternativenation I am new here, and I appreciate being here. I have been creating original acoustic instrumental tracks for many years. NO AI is used for my music, much of it is recorded over the air using a small recorder (tascam dr-05x / other) and then edited further using very old Linux Laptops. At times, I offer free downloads to certain acoustic tracks (various ukulele / other). This track below again is a free download:hearthis.at/chaydunmusic/the-w

Another new discovery for me. 板歯目 are from Tokyo and have been around since 2019. They appear to have toured in the US and UK recently.

How many of your favorite records can you spot in this vid?

For me? So many!

I was reminded this week that They Might Be Giants' debut, self-titled album was released 40 years ago (November 1986). So please enjoy this tune.

Cottoned onto this Minnesotan band, early this year and listened to their catalogue and a few of the advance tracks from this album. Only realised the full album was released in July, just now. IMO, they have everything you/I want in a "dream pop/softer shoegaze" band. So full marks from me.

This week, I decided to do some serious listening of both new stuff and things that the internet told me I missed…so my Play Queue has been hovering at around 450 tracks all week, but when I noticed that Laura Veirs released a new album, I bumped her to the top of the list.
