TRUST FUND (Turnstile Records) https://trustfund.bandcamp.com/
Top-drawer indie-pop from down south, Trust Fund's music fuses 90s alterna-rock riffage with off-centre m/f vocal harmonies and some of the most understated, poignant lyrics.
The solo project of Bristol native Ellis Jones, augmented by a
supporting cast of players drawn from the south-west's prolific DIY scene (Joanna Gruesome, Grubs among others).
FFO Superchunk, Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Los Campesinos!, Weezer
"immensely catchy guitar-powered singsong that manages to be melancholy and chipper at the same time"- Stereogum "Wonderful... Chaotic, messy, pretty, poignant" - Gold Flake Paint Lush Purr https://electropapknit.bandcamp.com/album/lush-purr
Low-key, lo-fi wonky pop. Hints of MBV but sleepier at times. Shades of The Pastels too. Or Pixies but like... underwater? Feat members of The Yawns, Copy Haho, many other excellent projects. Min Diesel https://mindiesel.bandcamp.com/
Mindie-rock trio in rare 2016 outing.
