The Gentle Isolation - it started with an April shower (LilyStar/Dufflecoat CDEP)

Refined, sweet, mellow and glorious indie pop from the Philippines' The Gentle Isolation. There is so much to love here, the vocals ring so sweet and clear, the music is full life and joy with plenty of delicious little flourishes like the "wah wah" guitars on "Faraway".

That song starts the EP off and is a swift little pop number. "Lets go slow" is relaxed yet packs a powerful melodic punch (well a cute indiepop punch obviously).
"Is it possible to see you again" is a power pop stomp that is pretty irresistible. "Define love" is my favourite song on the EP (some stiff competition though), its a little more restrained but with added melodic goodness and also a little bit of guitar screechiness. Finally "I'll pocket you a rainbow" is a light acoustic led pop journey through a Sunny field of goodness and is a little country rocky too, love it!

Released on LilyStar already and also due to be re-released on Dufflecoat Records soon.
