Old Lacy Bed - little girl EP (Dufflecoat)

Japan's Old Lacy Bed might be lo-fi and a little garage-y but they have plenty of great pop hooks. On their new 7" EP for Dufflecoat Records these can be heard on the atmospheric "Vivid" which combines a sometimes sparse arrangement with nostalgic echoes.

The title track is more up-beat and urgent, unlike a lot of current Asian female-vocal indiepop bands it doesn't sound very Cardigan-esque (not that there is anything wrong with that of course) though has a bit of a retro basement vibe. Some music is complicated, this is pretty basic but pleasingly basic and well-done indiepop.
