Thanks again Tim. Great to hear that you like In Along With You. For me, it comes a very close second to Baby (You’re a Dancer). Drums and bass for IAWY are inspired by early New Order. I made the snare myself by blending a drum machine snare and an old sounding hand clap. Great fun. Laz πŸ₯πŸŽΈπŸŽ΅πŸ˜œπŸ‘πŸŽ΅

How Long Can It Last, by jeanines 13 track album

Happy release day to Jeanines, whose new album "How Long Can It Last" is a beautifully crisp pop statement that through some mysterious alchemy combines 60s soft/sunshine vibes with the concise thrill of 80s DIY pop and their best tunes yet. 100% magic.

Me and Pete Wiggs first saw the Dolly Mixture supporting Orange Juice at the Venue in Victoria, January 1982. They blew us away. Luckily for us they then seemed to play in Croydon every other week. After one show Pete said "they've got better songs than the Beatles". tinyurl.com/yz77z22f
