DOWNLOAD: Still Corners - Don't Fall in Love (MP3)

" We're not complaining - in fact, we're rejoicing - but there's a lot of groups putting 60s surf-pop, doo wop and girl-group art ache through a C86 or MBV filter, and giving it loads of reverb, echo, delay and shimmer. Especially shimmer. The Drums are kind of doing it, Best Coast and Tennis certainly are, even British duos such as Summer Camp are getting in on the act. Some of them - Magic Kids and the Superimposers, for example - are heavier on the 60s retro, while others such as Wild Nothing are more 80s. A few - such as the mighty Washed Out - ride a lush, ambient wave that laps the shores of synth-pop and shoegaze. All of them gladden the heart to the extent that we are moved to declare this a new golden age of indie.

Even in such stellar company, Still Corners stand out. Of the five tracks we've heard, three are magnificent, two are plain gorgeous, and one may come to define a genre yet to be named - although you can bet your favourite FX pedal it's not going to be chillgaze." [Guardian]
