Being signed to Alcopop Records is pretty much a guarantee of quality; their roster boasts an incredible blend of artists.

Daydream is the first single from their forthcoming album and it’s available as a free download below.
The album release is accompanied by a small tour covering most of England, and judging by their sound on record, their live shows are likely to be a messy, joyous and fun affair.

TOTD // 090; Pure X ~ Someone Else

Read on Goldflakepaint
Atmospheric and dreamy, like something off the Twin Peaks soundtrack, Pure X mix beautiful reverb and equally beautiful guitar melodies on this is a gentle, psychedelic indie pop waltz. Painfully personal lyrics are hissed, the vocals that dodge between are delicate yet soulful, and powerful but raw (with a tonal quality and range reminiscent of Christopher Owens from the now-deceased Girls, and a touch of that particular charm Girls brought to guitar music).

This track more than stands up to repeat listening, in fact it’s of such a quality that it’s almost impossible not to keep on clicking that play button. The track is taken from the Austin three-piece’s second album ‘Crawling Up The Stairs‘, which will be released May 13th on Merok Records, and you can grab it as a free download here.
