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!
I reckon everyone has an album in them & this one’s mine: lofi, a bit shambling, a bit jangle, a bit shoegaze and all pop. Reissued by the lovely @subjangle.bsky.social I’d thank you for giving it a listen esp if u missed it last time: goodbyewudaokou.bandcamp.com/album/mirror...

Here's some acoustic indie rock to (hopefully) brighten up your Sunday afternoon. A live version of my new single 'Better Fiction'. Listen to the "full band" version here:

Another great track from Red Cavalry. Jangle with a political hue.

Goodbye Wudaokou's debut album Mirror Skies gets a timely reissue after the success of the recent Anything of Us album. The original issue still gets plenty of plays in my house. Heartily recommended

The debut LP by @goodbyewudaokou.bsky.social is being reissued today. Like everything on @subjangle.bsky.social it's worth buying.

But there's something different about it. It's one of the best albums in years. A startlingly good album with intensely moving lyrics.

Read my review, then buy!

The only part of this I disagree with is Mat's contention that Mirror Skies is lofi and shambling - to my ears the production sounds pristine throughout. A terrific debut album that you should all own a copy of.

A SHOPFIRES/NEUCLOUDS collaboration. It might just become your next annoying earworm.

NEUCLOUDS came with a chorus. SHOPFIRES came with their minimalist verses. They debated long into the afternoon about the inclusion of a guitar solo. They agreed to leave it in. An 80s style indie pop anthem was born.

Had fun last night watching The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart at Esquires (even if the local townsfolk let the side dowm a bit by only half filling the room). We also ate dinner in the same almost-empty pub as the band, just before the gig. A peak night out in Bedford!

Thank you very very much if you listened to my first radio show tonight. This is the last song, and it is by the wonderful @armstrong-wales.bsky.social. I truly love this song so much that I have put envy aside, more or less.

The collaboration between SHOPFIRES and NEUCLOUDS will be out THIS Friday 21st. The song 'This Is Not What We Were Hoping For' is a 3 minute 80s indie pop anthem. I'd be delighted if you gave it a little listen.

Detail of the insert from the Assistant/Goodbye Wudaokou split-7”. So glad it has started landing - copies are winging their way to Germany, Japan, America and Canada too.
