The Photocopies
@thephotocopies.bsky.social
Unapologetically old-school, often C86-ish #indiepop made without secret plans to fill stadiums (ugh).
Originally from London, currently in Michigan.
New limited edition 10" LP/cassette/CD "Counterintuition" out now.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by all the recent Photocopies releases... umm... there's a new single out on Tuesday.
Apologies. 😊
So, if you feel the need to catch up on all the recent stuff, see the bio link to see what you might have missed!
(By the way, 2026 should be quieter!)

Think this is probably my favourite album of the year, on @slumberlandrecords.com .

We now live in a world where superstores that once had a big physical media department now have just a couple of shelves, stacked by people who can’t tell the difference between LPs and calendars. 😕

It's true The Photocopies only just put out a record last week (should be in the mail very shortly if you ordered one), but here's advance warning of the final record of the year. Yes, another one, already!

HUGE thanks to everyone who bought the new album Counterintuition on Bandcamp Friday!
It reallly helps out the small labels who support lesser-known artists like The Photocopies. 😊
There are no records left, but if you’re quick, you’ll still find the cassette & CD.

Love this. This is the floor by the mixing desk of the original Motown studio in Detroit. There was so much toe-tapping, they wore it out. 😄

Taken directly from the original test pressing LP, it will be presented as two long audio files - sides 1 and 2.

My earliest memory of music is my mother playing Beatles LPs, so last night I finally got to see a Beatle play Beatles songs while I still can.
Expensive 😬 but totally worth it!
He even played Helter Skelter.
Here’s the set list:
