Kuryakin / The Sunny Street

Another terrific Dufflecoat Records split EP, this time involving Sweden's Kuryakin and from London The Sunny Street. So the bands are not from so far away this time but its no less wonderful a pairing. Kuryakin's delicate and delicious indie pop rings out with "Where are you now" and "Somehow" which both score highly on the jangle-ometer. Gorgeous and rich melodies and vocals, love it!

The Sunny Street is a bit more restrained but no less lovely. "Aloysius" has a delicate and intricate melody "Hungry hippo's" is breathy and echoey, reminds me a bit of late shoegaze 1.0 when it became lighter and more experimental and not boys wishing to make you deaf. Interesting and atmospheric and a definite hit (with me anyway).
