The Soundcarriers

This week in Indie Basement: Julie Doiron, The KVB, The Soundcarriers, a Jarvis Cocker remix album and a C86 sequel that looks at 1991.

UK group The Soundcarriers formed in Nottingham in the late 2000s with a sound that pulled from ’60s French pop, Italian soundtracks, baroque psych, Brazilian pop, and other groovy subgenres…

This week in the Basement: reviews of new albums from Kelly Lee Owens, Sweeping Promises and International Teachers of Pop, plus a reissue of Love Tractor’s debut album and a compilation of ’80s janglepop.

plus Cardi B, Janelle Monae, Anderson .Paak, Pussy Riot, Glen Matlock, Devin Townsend, Alice Glass, Frank Turner, and more livestreams you can watch today since there are no live concerts to attend.

This week in Indie Basement: reviews of the new Eddy Current Suppression Ring album, the ‘Lodge 49’ soundtrack and a four-disc comp of Sheffield post-punk, plus John Myrtle and Handle.

Lodge 49’s official soundtrack also includes a brand new song by Lilys, plus tracks from The Squires, Roundhouse, composer Andrew Carroll and more.

We spoke to Tom about the musical vision for this wonderfully weird show, hiring private investigators to track down songwriters of tracks they wanted to use, and more. Plus: listen to The Soundcarriers’ unused ’Lodge 49′ theme song.

You wouldn’t expect a series about a surfer who joins a secret fraternal order to use songs by Broadcast, Felt, and White Fence, but it does.
