Watch: Tallies Release New Single/Video "Special"

Toronto dream pop/indie pop band Tallies have released the video for their new single "Special".

The song is taken from their forthcoming second full-length album 'Patina', which will be out on July 29th viaKanine Records (US), Hand Drawn Dracula (CA) and Bella Union (UK/EU). Pre-order your copy here.

Speaking about the band said: “‘Special’ is about longing to be seen and heard by those who matter to you most. Sometimes feeling invisible is particularly painful when the indifference comes from someone whose opinion means a lot to you.”

The juxtaposition of light and dark is a strong theme in the music of Tallies and certainly apparent once more with "Special" – another fine example of their gliding, shoegaze-adjacent jangle-pop reminiscent of The Sundays, Galaxie 500, Ride, etc. While many of their songs are upbeat, with Frankland’s breezy guitar lines drenched in reverb, soaring over Cian O'Neill’s propulsive drumbeats, Sarah’s lyrics can add a hint of shadow to even their most jangly tunes.

Pale Blue Eyes Announce Debut LP 'Souvenirs', Stream "Globe"

Totnes, UK indie pop/indie rock band Pale Blue Eyes have announced the release of their highly-anticipated debut album 'Souvenirs'. 

The 10-track record was mixed and mastered by ex-Add N To (X) man Dean Honer, and bears those influences out, a surging, sophisticated mix of synth-tinged indie-rock touching on greats like Echo & The Bunnymen and Cocteau Twins, it will be out on September 2 through Full Time Hobby. Pre-order your copy here.

The core of Souvenirs was written and recorded by Sheffield’s Lucy Board and South Devon’s Matt Board. Matt and Lucy were married in 2018, years after meeting at art college.

“When we were younger,” says Lucy, “we recorded at various studios – from makeshift DIY places in Sheffield and Plymouth to residential studios like Rockfield in Wales. Rockfield was like heaven to us, but it was somewhere we could only afford for a couple of days. Our dream was to have more studio time, to develop songs without being 'on the clock', and to learn how to produce ourselves.”
