Another great split 7" EP from Dufflecoat Records this time working in collaboration with Luxury Records to bring together the classic twee sounds from The Proctors, to put a smile on even the greyest of days, and Apple Orchard who produce some great pop noise.
The Proctors first, their "Fun Sunday" is a breakneck pop ride, full of jingle jangle cascades and male-female vocal interplay. Great chorus too, the sort of pop hit that maybe should be a contender for your Summer soundtrack? "Adrienne" is a lot slower, relaxed and intelligent. Its a bit Field Mice, with jingle jangle coming in at the right moments. Another essential track for now and forever.
Apple Orchard has mournful vocals and razor sharp guitar noise on "Not this time" as well as a whole lot of pop loveliness. "The early riser" has a chunky beat and 60s keyboards and some great pop hooks. Their sound is a bit messy maybe but in the right way. All lovely and all essential.
Out soon on Dufflecoat & Luxury Records
