PO! Leicester, UK
Ruth Po! set up her own record company and writes incisive songs from an ordinary female perspective. Themes are often dark yet the tunes are singable, jangly and very English-sounding.First formed in 1987 with punk roots and an indie-pop style, PO! is not a typical band. After a Peel session and an NME single of the week, Ruth gave it all up 1999-2016 but the band are back with new songs! ... more

The greatest to ever do it, do it again! Sometimes lush as a warm blanket, sometimes all the angles of a dance party, always suspended in and out of time

Another absolute winner for Slumberland! Punkish Soft Boys-meets-Henry's Dress splendor! Like a dirty Velocity Girl kicking out lo-fi-ish Kinks-y jangle-noise. Sometimes it reminds me of a garage / budget-rock version of early 80's REM with hints of the Primitives. oh, and there's tambourines. Tambourines are lovely. Really are. Cover is funny too. took me a minute, but, yeah, worth a chuckle.

Clubwater - ST
by shiny happy records
supported by 4 fans who also own “Something Your Wife Doesn't Know”
Clubwater's album conjures memories of late 80s/early 90s indiepop (The Ocean Blue, Bradford, Housemartins, O-Positive, etc), but the sound is fresh and clean and exists in its own world without being completely derivative. The fact that it's from Indonesia makes it even more cool. And I love the cover art.
