Pocketbooks – Don’t Stop
Concluding our run of indie pop (for this week at least), we have new material from London’s Pocketbooks. I’ve been listening to them for the best part of two years now, and it’s amazing how much they have developed as a band. The early songs, while very good in their own right, were far more simplistic and lo-fi to what we’re dealing with now. As such, we’re now at a point where Don’t Stop comes complete with layered vocals, time changes, as well as the obligatory delightful melodies. If they keep growing at this rate, in another couple of years they will be the best indie pop band in the world.
The new EP from Pocketbooks, entitled Waking Up, can be purchased from Make and Mend Records for only £2.50. Pocketbooks, alongside recently featured bands The Kabeedies and The Smittens, will be playing at the Indietracks festival in July.
