Slumberland Records. They've been on another roll (when aren't they on a roll) with new releases coming from Birdie (great band with members from Dolly Mixture and East Village) and Chime School. I'm still sifting through the lightheaded, Neutrals and Lunchbox bundle I just received. Now, I've run across some of their older releases on amazing markdown (Bricolage, Summer Cats and Sarandon).
Sarandon (London) was active during the early 2000s and have a sound reminiscent of The Fall and Wire while still retaining pop sensibilities of bands like Josef K. I can't imagine that Allan McNaughton (Giant Haystacks and the aforementioned Neutrals) didn't enjoy Sarandon's output.
This 10" is aptly named "Kill Twee Pop!" I can confidently say after listening to a couple of Sarandon's releases, that this is a sincere sentiment.
