22 Jun 2012 — Henning Lahmann
Two brand new LP offerings by the mighty
La Station Radar, and one tune of each for an exclusive first Friday afternoon listen right here. Moreover, it's also a blissful juxtaposition of finest contemporary
outsider pop.
The first record is another full-length by
Blanche Blanche Blanche, who'd only recently released their first LP in 2012, the brilliant
Wink With Both Eyes on Night-People. Follow-up
Papas Proof was recorded in March 2011 on a Yamaha MT8X - needless to say, the twelve tracks on this effort take the same line as those on the outfit's previous work. Listen to the title track below, a typically brief, stupendously catchy pop gem.
The other LP comes across as a little more cumbersome, but beneath a surface of raw noises,
Yves Son Ace's
Unsung does know how to reveal some true delights. The album was first released last year by
Night-People in a tiny tape edition, now receiving its well-deserved reissue treatment on LSR. Yves Son Ace, which is the solo project of
Factums and
Love Tan member Matthew Ford, delivers a collection of distinctly weird, slightly psychedelic outré pop, something we're just glad to see still exists.
Both LPs are out June 22. Order
Papas Proof here and
Unsung here.
