It was two and a half years ago that I first discovered , when they were release 001 on the Weepop! label. I really liked that release, particularly the title track from it, Cycling and Crying. Since that time though, I haven’t heard a great deal about the band at all. If I’m honest, I’d actually forgotten all about them.

This past weekend though I stumbled across their Bandcamp page, which had a new three song EP, Live at Chateau Blanc, available on it for free download. That said, this isn’t a full-band release though, as helpfully explained on the page itself:

How do you do a live EP in France with half the band in Denmark and the keyboard player in Cambridge? Easy- play all the instruments yourself and make it sound as Danish as possible

The funny thing is that it doesn’t seem to make much difference to the sound, so read what you will into the creation of indiepop from that. It hardly matters though, as I’ve Just Been Told That a Woman Fancies Me may be my favourite indiepop of the year so far. It’s literally what it sounds like, a joyous celebration of the fact that a woman seems to like him, despite the fact he knows absolutely nothing about her. Why let pesky details like that get in the way? That we end up with lines like “I can’t wait to tell my girlfriend” makes it all the more perfect.

All three songs from Live at Chateau Blanc can be downloaded for free from Bandcamp.
