Upcoming Releases, Compiled January 13

UK indie label Moshi Moshi Records will be making its foray into the US market with two upcoming releases this spring.

The vocally beautiful full length debut Yeah, So from Slow Club will hit these shores. This is certainly one to check out if your listening pleasures lean more towards the more folkier (Is that a word? Probably not if I had to ask!) sounds.


Track Listing
  • When I Go
  • Giving Up On Love
  • I Was Unconscious, It Was A Dream
  • It Doesn't Have To Be Beautiful
  • There Is No good Way To Say I'm Leaving You
  • Trophy Room
  • Because We're Dead
  • Dance Till The Morning Light
  • Sorry About The Doom
  • Come On Youth
  • Apples And Pairs
  • Our Most Brilliant Friends
The other release is a double CD from The Wave Pictures which will be comprised of their two most recent UK releases If You Leave It Alone and Instant Coffee Baby.
