Four weeks since ‘Nadine’ came out, thanks to all for the very positive reception. Some CDs still available, and just to be clear, to minimise shipping costs, UK/Europe orders will ship from the UK, Americas orders from New York, and Asia orders from Tokyo. harrietrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nadine

Thank you, Chris, another really positive, but also really well written, considered, thoughtful and thought-provoking review, an honour to be written about this way. And all manner of good recommendations in here too.

The last FRESH INGREDIENTS this year goes out on untidyradio.com on Sunday at 7pm. Songs by @europeansunmusic.bsky.social, @robertrotifer.bsky.social, @thesuncharms.bsky.social, Julian Cope, David Westlake and a bunch of music from Australia and New Zealand. You can visit but you cannot stay.

Heartfelt thanks to Mike @musiclovemusic.bsky.social for the generous support this year and the cool feature on my new single: Spare Year (you can check the song out in the article or the usual places) 💜

A massive thank you to @dickaltavista.bsky.social at @ckcufm.bsky.social 🍁for playing "Charmtrap" on his show last night - alongside heavenly pop hits from @lovejoy-official.bsky.social and the TVPs! Insane company for us to be in, absolutely mad. We are very grateful 😍

Today is St. Lucia Day! A time to exchange gifts that bring light to dark proceedings! Please assume your crown of candles. And join me in thanking @polaroidblog.bsky.social for his annual offering. Pls buy A POLAROID FOR XMAS 2025. All proceeds to Gaza Soup Kitchen. New Assistant song included! X

We're reviewed in the most recent edition of The April Sun fanzine. It's a wonderful thing with some great writing. Well worth grabbing s copy from the @assistant.bandcamp.com bandcamp. #theaprilsun #fanzine #indiepop

UK folk, there’s a re-run at 2pm Saturday your time if you’re free. One of the things about putting this album out has been hearing all this great music in whose company we loiter. Rewarding and inspiring. Toll! @goldenglades.bsky.social

Sincere props to Steve Kirkland (in stormy, wintry Ottowa) for the world radio premiere of “Old Carthusians” - on @ckcufm.bsky.social A tentative demo in an East London flat, now spun alongside Luna, Blondie & Simple Minds And thanks too, of course, to @wallytbm.bsky.social

If you are a fan of scrappy lo-fi with a Television Personalities influence you just might enjoy this album: harrietrecords.bandcamp.com/album/all-we...

Hi friends, ending 2025 with the final Goodbye Wudaokou release for a while. Spare Year is a chiming, wistful, wintry affair, gently arranged w faint hints of jangly Americana: #musicsky #diysky #lofi #janglepop #americana #winter #manchester #indiepop goodbyewudaokou.bandcamp.com/album/spare-...

Well this has absolutely made our week 😺

On Bandcamp Friday, ‘I Want To’ is one of the most direct songs on debut album ‘Nadine’: ‘Sick of hearing empty tales of who did what to whom, I want to and I want you’. This from a Mornington Crescent session, might have been a mini-album in another world harrietrecords.bandcamp.com/album/nadine...

Good morning everyone. The 3rd issue of my IN THE APRIL SUN indie pop fanzine is now on sale. I have stock in hand so will be posting out right away. It's a beautiful issue, so do share/grab one. It has some lovely stuff in it; Heavenly, the Lemonheads, Chime School, The Felt Tips & much more.

COMPLETE DISCOGRAPHY 2024-2025 🔥🔥🔥

This has been much delayed but I’m expecting copies from the printer this Wednesday and it’ll be on sale next Friday morning! Thanks for your patience, pals. And your encouragement!

J'ai rassemblé mes souvenirs d'une rencontre à Bruxelles en 1987 pour rédiger les notes de pochette du tout premier album de Jim's Twenty-one, qui vient de sortir chez Harriet Records.

sincerely love this record, and the later songs it paved the way for. Honest and homespun, yet unafraid. Remember being reeled in by "New Century Regrets", the first Goodbye Wudaokou song I ever heard!

Ever dreamed about stumbling upon a brilliant, Peel-blessed late-80s indie band you'd unaccountably missed? #harrietrecords Limited edition, so rush if you can!

Still WAY too excited that we heard our 90-sec tambourine/guitar pile-up “There’s always next year“ on Carl Thien’s magnificent show on WZBC last night. Really appreciate the support!

If you only read one thing today! The spirit of adventure, the joy of discovery, the bravery of open heartedness, the thrill of being a listener - it’s all in this short archived piece about the terrific @therosslyns.bsky.social

I’m releasing an EP today, with new versions of some earlier Sunny Intervals songs, including Sixty Seconds To Fall in Love. It’s on Spotify here: open.spotify.com/album/5pxxUs... And part of a deluxe Bandcamp version of my new album here: sunnyintervals.bandcamp.com/album/swept-... #indiepop

My new single is out now! To all of you who send your music / art out into the ether in the hopes of brightening somebody's day: this song is for you. 'When the truth sounds bleak / we'll make better fiction / something to get lost in on a rainy day' lastdaysofrome2.bandcamp.com/track/better...

The limited edition compilation CD from NEUCLOUDS will be available to individually preorder from 30th November. Watch this space for further updates.

From this Sunday at 7pm onwards I'll be hosting a regular show on @untidyradio.bsky.social. I'll be playing indie pop & adjacent stuff & am, as always, here to help if you have jangly stuff to share. The first show features The Felt Tips, Hazelene, The Lovely Basement, Armstrong, R.M.F.C & others x

Inordinately thrilled that our clattering, anorak-clad tune “Charmtrap” got a spin on Christchurch’s 8K.NZ this week! Our thanks again to the talismanic CNQ - any recognition means a huge deal to a little band like us.

Major thanks to Jen @nstop.com for global first play of a track from 'Nadine', out on Nov 23, on this week's impressive Cycles Per Second show on @khuh.bsky.social -- 'I Want To', a previously unreleased studio recording. I was able to listen live...

V grateful to Chris for his lovely words on our split w/ @assistant.bandcamp.com : Sky Lantern: “It’s the kind of song that could worm its way into your heart and maybe even define you in months to come”; Flowers: “a lofi classic with a naive and catchy melody and an undercurrent of dying dreams” 💜🌹

one of our favourite radio shows, this. Great music but reliably eclectic too

Majorly blinding mixtape here to celebrate an equally blinding single. Savour the likes of Felt, Declining Winter, the Pastels and more, plus the skinny on Assistant and Goodbye Wudaokou’s briskly autumnal double-header!

With thanks to Nathaniel, our 9yo, who filmed the falling leaves and car shots, the autumnal Sky Lantern video. Quite different from my more upbeat stuff and probably influenced by Elliott Smith, REM, YLT and the last The Declining Winter record: youtu.be/7cs-LC7R134?... #autumn #leaves #musicsky

Hi friends, two beautiful and very different songs by @assistant.bandcamp.com and @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social OUT NOW and lathe cuts coming to home near you soon. We’re ecstatic: assistant.bandcamp.com/album/assist... #indiepop #diysky #musicsky #lofi

Another joy to have worked on :-)

One of the tracks for the forthcoming 12”. Going into the studio to do final mixes next month.

Inspired by the thought of the forthcoming @assistant.bandcamp.com and @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social single! So dug out a few prized split 7”s that have lit up the years… [um, alt text for the labels/artistes/songs]

Being cut as we speak and out for preorder next week. A gorgeous split 7” from @assistant.bandcamp.com and @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social

Us on this day, 35 years ago. A Spanish fanzine had asked for a band pic so we used school non-uniform day to do our only ever band photo session, in and around Chelmsford's Central Park... Few shots survive, but this one's a favourite 📷: @mattrowson.bsky.social

Six months ago, I released ‘Swept Away’. Thanks so much to everyone who’s listened to the songs! Rosy Overdrive called it “delicately beautiful” and Janglepophub said it’s “indie-pop brilliance”. 😀 Please have a listen on Spotify or Bandcamp: sunnyintervals.bandcamp.com/album/swept-... #indiepop

Delighted to announce the brand new album from Kaiho Zion. Our new favourite manipulated sitar artist. wormholeworld.bandcamp.com/album/eye-of...

Random recent recommended records #vinyl #nowplaying (was meant to be tidying up)

Sharing this because I like the way my son (off camera, doing play-doh) is softly singing along to @therosslyns.bsky.social’s lovely chorus here, before I miss a chord change and give up.

I have just sent the new Assistant single off for mastering!

On flash sale at @krecs.bsky.social *and* only 2 copies left... 👀🉐 #lofi #diy #indiepop (sort of) #c89 #harrietrecords gb-krecs.glopalstore.com/products/all...
