Indiecater Volume 3

Another great compilation from Mr. Hugger- up to Vol. 3 and each one as strong as the last! A good variety of groups from the US and Europe and thankfully for me this time I hadn’t listened to the Irish groups too much so no distractions of thinking of their other tunes. As always the play order that he has put them in is key- while each tune is from a different band the order certainly compliments their sound.

As I have done with all the compilations to date- just a few thoughts on each track…

Sa Sevol- The Little Ones-dreamy lyrics with dark ambient undertones and good instrumentation.

Ral Partha Vogelbacher- Birthday in Beijing- nice start with the eastern instruments and good building up with the voice and music.

Ian Love- The Only Night- nice simple beats and harmonies with a good driven sound.

Bakers At Dawn- Hopeful- good toe tapping beats and a nice deep voice- guitar reverb and strings you cant ask for more!

Cats On Fire- Higher Grounds- good boppy tune with some good female vocals.

Celestial- Fragile Heart- short but one of the better ones! Lush sound predominate female harmonies and good instrumentation.

The Dying Seconds- I’ll Make The Best Weapon- scuzzy dance beats with a great vibe!

Starfucker- German Love- good sampled start and good vocals.

Ravens and Chimes- General Lafayette! You Are Not Alone- great drums and vibe!

Angel Pier- Sprites- good voice and some nice beats.

So go and get it- at 4.50 its cheaper than a vodka and will last longer!

BTW- for those of you wondering why I equate the prices of things to drink- its not because I am an alcoholic but drink is pretty bloody dear in the pubs here and you could easily spend more than cost of the gig ticket if you have more than a few!
