1 Go Outside 3:07
2 Tinted Windows 2:57
3 Bummer 2:23
4 Coming Home 4:04
This Seattle trio, led by my pal Adriano, plays the exact style of fuzzy power-pop
that I love, with loads of catchy hooks, a surfy vibe and a whole lotta reverb.
Recorded in a basement studio, this is certainly Blooper's best-sounding work to date,
but unfortunately, also their final release...

(Note : hailing from the Denver '90s indiepop scene that produced the Apples In Stereo,
the Minders and Dressy Bessy (whose Tammy Ealom briefly sat in as guitarist),
Sissy Fuzz didn't get as much attention as their peers. And except for a 7" on
the Japanese 100Guitar Mania label and a song on an early Happy Happy Birthday
To Me comp, they never even strayed too far from home. Yet during their brief
time, they managed to record ten simple and catchy '60s-inspired pop songs
(some of which only existed on very limited homemade demo tapes) - all of which
are collected here!)

Identities", on the band's own Discos Imprescindibles label. Two EPs preceded
the lp, but over the following year and a half, the band released a single for
the rest of the songs on the record. The first two were on other labels
(a digital EP on Bubbletone and a 3" cd on Edition 59), but the others were all
digital releases on the band's own label)

A 28-track retrospective from this obscure early '90s UK jangly indiepop band that
contains all ten songs from their 7"s on A Turntable Friend & Elefant Records, a
majority of their numerous cassette compilation contributions, as well as several
unreleased gems for good measure!

A1 Canyon Rose 2:56
A2 Glass Ships 4:38
B1 Easy Pleasures 4:11
B2 I Knew You Would Come Along Before Fall 3:11
On their debut release, Animal Daydream (of Gothenburg, Sweden) have given us four
songs with a wonderfully gentle but grand sound. Imagine a cross between later period
Teenage Fanclub, the Zebras (fellow labelmates!) and a healthy dose of American '70s
soft rock, with layers of jangly guitars, vocal harmonies and assorted vintage
keyboards and percussion throughout.

B2 I Wanna Be Your Animal 2:32
B3 And That's Enough For Me 1:36
B4 About A Friend 2:41
B5 I Wasn't Going To Fuck You Over Like That 1:14
These ten songs celebrate activities such as driving around, listening to music,
going to the movies... but they're also about feeling anxious and out of place and
not really knowing who or what you are. Though buried in layers of fuzz and reverb
- as if trying to mask their true identity - these are all still catchy little pop
hits.

First new batch of recordings in a long time from Verna Brock AKA Beanpole! Vocals,
guitars, strings and even flutes are layered upon each other (amidst drums, bass and
keyboard) to make for a wonderful and harmonious sound, and these five songs only
prove that Verna Brock should be up in the same revered class as indiepop luminaries
like Rose Melberg and Pam Berry!

Hailing from Anacortes and led by an adorable couple, Lisa & Jonn, on guitar and
drums, the Crabs charmed us through the '90s with their simple boy/girl indiepop on
early singles on local label Knw-Yr-Own to their four magical albums on Olympia's
K Records. Now, they've returned with five new songs for a new generation, with their
own kids on board!

After years away from the Dentists, Bob Collins returns and his signature passion

past catalogue, now combined with his own rich vocal delivery, doing justice to the
lyrics like only the writer can.

Taking their special brand of bubblegum pop a step further, these songs have a bit
of a punkier edge, sounding a bit like Boyracer, classic Beatnik Filmstars or our
beloved Faintest Ideas. In just over 13 minutes, this is a very strong batch of songs
speed by, leaving behind a trail of memorable melodies and hummable hooks!

the Castaway Stones. Classy indiepop with Rachel's strong voice (think Sarah Cracknell
or Tracey Thorn) and a cool, breezy jangle throughout.

cute and concise pop songs filled with jangly guitars and/or simple keyboards, that
are just pure and innocent fun!

One of the best bedroom indiepop albums I've heard in ages, reminding me a lot of
Colin Clary or the highly underrated James And The Express. The songs and lyrics are
innocent and endearing, but not overly twee. This album is sure to brighten your day,
as you'd sure have a hard time not smiling and tapping along to it!

This young coed trio from Boston reminds me a lot of the harder-edged indiepop bands
of the late '90s/early '00s, specifically New Grenada (of whom they are a dead-ringer,
at times) and Wolfie (and its many off-shoots, such as the Like Young and National
Splits). Their songs are generally short and punchy - blasting you with catchy guitar
melodies and bratty boy/girl vocals.

Third album from modern day troubadour, Evripidis Sabatis, who hails from Barcelona
via Athens, Greece, and this 48-minute opus is easily his strongest to date. The songs
are distinguished with melodic pop romance, black humor lyrics and influences from
old musicals, films and pop music from the 50s through today, somewhere between Jens
Lekman and Belle & Sebastian.

B1 All That You Can Give
B2 In My Room
Another quartet of hits that will just melt away in your ears from this enigmatic duo
from Gothenburg, Sweden. These songs are reminiscent of later Teenage Fanclub and
Fleet Foxes, but also borrow liberally from the sound of '70s soft rock, particularly
Fleetwood Mac and CSNY, with their strong vocal harmonies and overall smooth, almost
slick production.

Reading like a who's who of the Long Island, NY indiepop scene, the Chandler Estate
features a few original members of the infamous My Favorite, as well as Tara Emelye
Needham of the under-appreciated Mad Planets, and this band's debut EP sounds just
as you would expect: lofty and dramatic indie rock with layers of effected guitars
and spot-on vocal harmonies.

PZL 100 V / A JIGSAW 100 USB DRIVE USB .2016
If Jigsaw 50 (a two-disc collection involving every band from our first 49 releases)
was our most ambitious project, then Jigsaw 100 is surely our most audacious! Get
this: our 100th release is our first 99 releases. Seriously! For a hundred bucks, you
get a custom flash drive emblazoned with the Jigsaw logo (tucked inside a small
silk-screened cloth pouch), which contains high-quality mp3s for PZL001-PZL099
(with cover artwork and even a few extras). That's 1322 songs in all, for an average
cost of 7.5cents per track!
That's not all, either; if you are already a loyal Jigsaw fan (or even just have
a few of our releases), all you have to do is take a picture of all of your Jigsaw
cds and records collected together and post it to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and
tag it with #jigsawrecords (on Facebook, tag Jigsaw Records) and we'll send you a
discount code taking a dollar off for however many physical Jigsaw releases you
already own! So, for example, if you've already got 20 Jigsaw cds or records in your
collection, then you'd get Jigsaw 100 for only $80. This discount also applies to any
Jigsaw release (pre-100) that you buy in the same order, so, if you buy 5 Jigsaw cds
along with the drive, I'll knock $5 off the order. (If you're a regular on the
Jigsaw Bandcamp, send me a note and we'll work something out!) This drive will only
be sold on the Jigsaw site, and is strictly limited to 100 pieces, so don't delay!

PZL 105 3 SO COW LISA MARIE AIROPLANE TOUR DL 09.2016
Fifth lp from Ireland's So Cow, and probably the strongest he's ever done! With a
recurring theme of anxiety, these 12 catchy pop songs have the same nervous, kinetic
energy found throughout his earlier works, filtered through the wisdom of experience.
He's like a less-eccentric Martin Newell or a down-to-earth (yet more keyed-up) Daniel
Treacy...

01 Everything We Ever Hoped
02 Olympia
03 Still Quietly In Bloom
04 Turning To Ashes
A one-man show, starring Michael Kornbeck (also of Northern Portrait), these four
songs are cold and dense - but that's not to say they are uninviting. Rather, they
each are filled with many memorable melodies found in both the distant vocals and the
softly jangled guitars, all of which are nicely nestled in warm blankets of synths
and keyboards.

Led by Tim Sendra (who was in '90s indiepop faves, Veronica Lake), Blue Jeans are
a much cleaner affair, with relatively straightforward pop songs that occasionally
border on bubblegum. In addition to the songwriting of Tim, we also have the
production and general hands-on-ness of Fred Thomas from the very like-minded Saturday
Looks Good To Me, giving things a perfect pop polish.

Debut album from this UK-based tri-lingual trio (English, Spanish, Portuguese) with
a sparse guitar/bass/drum line-up, with boy/girl vocals and very few layers of
instrumentation. Their sound is very reminiscent of some of the mid-period Unrest
stuff (think Imperial FFRR-era), but the two bands they really remind me of are
Yellow Fever and Grass Widow.

After a couple albums under his own name, Brent Randall of Toronto is now using the
moniker Gentle Brent, but he's still playing many of the instruments on his own (with
help from a few friends here and there). A little less orchestral this time around,
Brent is leaning more toward jangly powerpop territory - think Harry Nilsson or Paul
McCartney meets the Heavy Blinkers, Flashing Lights or even Jigsaw's own Michael
Knight. This album has friendly, bouncy AM-styled hits galore, and with eleven of
'em in under half an hour, you'll find lots of wonderful vocal harmonies and the
catchiest songs you've heard in a while!

This is the second album from this San Francisco quartet (with ex-members of Grandma's
Boyfriend, Permanent Collection and the Broonies), and it's a 17-track, 32-minute
whirlwind of exciting crash pop! Packed with an array of catchy songs and quirky song
fragments that flow into one another, this album is on par with anything by Kleenex
Girl Wonder and Guided By Voices (the 4-track years).

Hush Machine is the blissful, glassy guitar pop of Kansas-born Sam Boatright, a 21
year-old Lawrence native who has created music under this moniker for several years;
however, he has only just recently started sharing his music with a grander listening
audience. The songs on this self-titled debut album were all written and recorded
during Boatright's junior and senior year of high school in 2013 and echo winter
nights driving around lonesome as well as muggy summer days, lounging around with
friends.

4 Within Your Reach
5 Slow Sailor
Following up on their powerful debut from a couple years back, Tokyo's Cattle have
given us another winner with their second EP, "Slow Sailor". It starts off deceptively
gentle with the lovely midtempo "Sherbet", but then kicks it into high gear with a trio
of instant hits, including a very spirited rendition of Ride's classic, "Twisterella",
before closing off with the midtempo (but still punchy) title track. Musically, they
remind me a lot of Ringo Deathstarr and the noisier side of Pia Fraus, with confident
female vocals over crunchy guitars, and a whole lot of melody ringing throughout. This
is seriously some of the best dreampop I've heard in a while!

Recorded a couple years ago in Anacortes (with Nich Wilbur at the Unknown), but finally
seeing the light of day now, this is the debut album from Hoop, a lovely all-girl
quartet from Seattle led by Caitlin Roberts. It's a deeply personal album about a toxic
relationship, and with its sparse yet beautiful delivery, you really can't help feeling
moved by the end of it. Musically, the band reminds me of Unrest and Lake, sharing
those bands' knack for muted, naked beauty, but also their affinity for expanding the
sound when needed (as in the droney outro to "Baseboard" or the overdriven but still
subdued "Drawn To You"). This is a haunting and timeless classic designed to help
anyone get through their worst times.

The Sky Mata is the moniker for a Japanese fellow named Matthew Haya, and, as you
might guess, this is his first album. His sound is very simple and stripped-down,
almost like a minimal Marbles or Stuart Moxham, had he been part of the Elephant 6
collective. The songs have a very intimate sound, as if he had recorded them in his
apartment late at night, careful not to wake his neighbors with the drums (which are
hit ever so lightly). The interplay between the nimble bass and melodic guitars is
fantastic, reminding me of Pinback at times, and there are enough memorable tunes
to keep you coming back for more listens.

Debut album from this post-Makeout Vertigo band from New Jersey that's great for
fans of bands like Dogbreth and Diners; bands that maintain a balance between jangly
/breezy indiepop and rough/edgy indie rock, keeping the hooks and melodies up front.
This album is chock full of hits, too numerous to mention, and will be the perfect
soundtrack for the entire summer (and beyond)!

Just over two years after his debut, "Tell Someone" (also on Jigsaw), we're happy to
present you with Brad San Martin's second solo album! You may know Brad from his
previous classic indiepop band, One Happy Island (with releases on Wee Pop! and Odd
Box Records), but with his solo work, he branches out into more AM-friendly soft-pop
territory, a la Harry Nilsson or Van Dyke Parks. And this time around, he's assisted
by some pretty big names, as well: Mitch Easter, Pete Weiss (who also produced the
record) and Kevin Dunn (whose guitar work on "Cook And Morton" is simply stunning).
Yep, Brad's knocked it out of the park yet again with this one!

Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Shrug Life have only been around for a couple years,
and here we have their debut full length. Musically, they remind me a lot of the
Lodger and fellow countrymen (and Jigsaw labelmates) So Cow, with their edgy and
energetic yet very melodic indiepop sound. And lyrically, their well-written songs
tackle everything from life's shortcomings and drudgeries to more serious topics like
local politics and abortion rights. Co-released with Ireland's Little L Records, this
is a strong batch of songs that we're proud to share with the world!

Based in Edinburgh, Scotland, the Occasional Flickers have been around for over a
decade and this is their third album to date, after full length releases on Plastilina
and Linger On Records (as well as a 7" on Cloudberry). Their sound is almost distinctly
Scottish (even though band leader/songwriter Giorgos Bouras is originally from Athens,
Greece), in the style of the Orchids and Belle & Sebastian. Though the songs are
predominately light and breezy jangly pop, they also display some grand tendencies
(see the epic "Most Of The Time" as a prime example). Overall, this is a well-thought
out album and well worth the wait!

Half Forward Line is the new band from Brian Kelly (So Cow), Niall Murphy (Oh Boland)
and drummer/recordist Ciaran o Maol·in. The plan for the band was to write a set of
new songs as quickly as possible and perform them as soon as possible for a good old
-fashioned lark, and as a result, the trio have crafted a short, sharp dose of power
pop. Recorded over two days in the lounge of a derelict rural Irish pub, this album
takes in tales of wedded bliss, social anxiety and the perils of letting someone try
on your glasses. Infused with the pioneering jangling spirit of the Flying Nun roster,
along with garage rock sonics and Kelly's inimitable brand of buzzsaw pop and
slice-of-life lyrics, Half Forward Line have delivered a half-hour album hallmarked
by hook-laden songs.

Orignally released about two years ago on Kolibri Rekords of Jakarta, this Indonesian
band's debut full-length has been out of print for some time now, and we're all too
happy to bring it back into the world! The eight songs on this album shimmer and
sparkle along with the best of Beach Fossils, Seapony and EZTV's work - easy-going
and very dreamy sounding, with hushed male vocals over reverbed-out strummy guitars
and laidback songs. And if you like these songs, wait until you hear their new record,
due out on Jigsaw next year!

This debut album from Cracked Actors of northern England just fell into my lap recently
when the band wrote me out of the blue requesting I release their record. Well, I just
happened to really like it, so I happily obliged and here we are two months later with
the newest Jigsaw release! The band they actually remind me the most of is an obscure
80s group from the southern US called Carnival Season - with their crunchy guitar
sound, raspy vocals and super-catchy powerpop songs - but seeing as fewer than five
people will get that reference, I'll instead just say they're a mix between mid-period
Replacements and Mega City Four. Ten punchy songs in exactly 21 minutes - you can't
go wrong with that!

Two years after their self-titled 2015 debut EP, The Speedlights of Denton, Texas
return with their first full length album. The ten new tracks build on the late '70s
powerpop influences that formed the earlier recordings, but it's almost as if the band
have now moved ahead a few years into the new wave early '80s. The catchy hooks are
still ever present for the quartet, though the addition of periodic synthesizer lines
and occasionally darker moods are more akin to The Cars than The Knack this time out.

Last year, we reintroduced the world to Les Autres, an excellent French indie rock
band from the '90s, via a compilation entitled "Backwards". Now, we're happy to present
the debut album (after a couple self-released digital-only EPs) from Megrim, which is
the new project of that older band's guitarist/vocalist, Olivier Doreille. Like Les
Autres, comparisons can be drawn to early '90s contemporaries such as Lorelei and
Hood, but Megrim's sound is a bit more fleshed out, at times reminding me a lot of
early Death Cab For Cutie and Nada Surf. Their songs are sometimes driving, other
times melancholic, but always interesting, making for a well-rounded and rewarding
album to listen to.

their debut cassette on Weiner Records. The trio plays a mix of indie rock, indiepop
and powerpop, channeling bands like Surfer Blood, the Drums and Crocodiles (whose
Charles Rowell produced this very album). Their songs have a wide range of moods with
some songs, like "Jamie Is Gone" and "I Love You Sweetly", having big and catchy
(dare I say, radio-friendly?) choruses, and others, like the ambient surf-instrumental,
"Pappelallee", and the record's piano-centered closer, "Painted On The Wall", showing
off a gentler side. Yes, there's a bit of something for everyone on this cool and
varied album.

Composed of a bunch of friends of mine, I've been a fan of this Seattle band since

them via their self-titled debut EP. Simply put, Flying Fish Cove play pure indiepop
in the style of Heavenly, Go Sailor and Tiger Trap, with nimble guitar melodies and
layers of sugary-sweet vocals on top of four memorable songs. Already working on their
follow-up, this is a great taste for this young and fresh band who - spoiler alert
- I've recently joined on drums!

Anorak and Cloudberry. This new project of his, however, is miles away from the rather
twee pop sound of the Kensingtons-instead, we have four slices of good, solid powerpop
a la Matthew Sweet, the Posies and Fountains Of Wayne.

It has been over four years since the last Watoo Watoo album ("Une Si Longue Attente",
also on Jigsaw), but the band members have been busy with their own side projects,
Photon (MichaÎl) and Montclair (Pascale). They have reconvened one more time, however,
to make one more gorgeous POP! record, entitled "Modern Express". Falling somewhere in
between Stereolab, Felt and Broadcast, with a heavy dose of original French pop, the
duo have created yet another instant classic filled with jangly guitars, vintage synths
and lovely bilingual female vocals, besting their already stellar prior output.
Be sure to pick up the cd, which is the only place to get their cover of a translated
British hit as a bonus track!

Cozy Slippers is a Seattle trio with dual-lead female vocals and a warm veneer of
nostalgia. Following their self-released debut EP from 2017, Jigsaw is happy to
present their second EP, "Postcards", which is another five slices of pure indiepop
in the style of Cub, Heavenly and the Icicles. Jangly guitars abound on these songs,
but you'll also find hints of keyboards that help flesh out the sound. And memorable
melodies? Oh yeah - lots of those, too! Just try and get the chorus of "Back And
Forth" out of your head after one listen... Expect big things from this new band!

Canada. This blink-and-you'll-miss-it classic is only about 24 minutes long (when you
include the hidden bonus track available only on the cd - how '90s!), but man, is it
ever packed with hit after hit! Their sound is best described as energetic crash-pop,
similar to that which bands like Cause Co-Motion, So Cow and Times New Viking have
mastered. The songs are short and catchy with lots of fuzzy guitars and self
deprecating lyrics. A fun ride, for sure!

Even before Seapony went on their hiatus, their chief songwriter, Danny Rowland,
started his solo project, Space Daze. He released a tape on the Beautiful Strange
label back in 2014, titled Follow My Light Back Home, but everything he's put out
since then has been digital-only on his own Bandcamp. Well, this collects all of those
digital releases onto a packed disc clocking in at nearly 74 minutes!
Musically, this is not all that different from Seapony, only there is quite a bit
more variety to the songwriting, as is often the case with solo projects. Also, with
Danny's voice at the front, this sounds a bit less like his other band, and more like,
say, Beach Fossils or Real Estate.

Dufflecoat label and immediately impressed us with their gentle and hushed seaside
themed tweepop in the style of the Marine Girls. The duo have mostly been silent ever
since, but we're now proud to present their debut full-length album, titled A Weekend
Away With.... Like their earlier works, this has a very strong Marine Girls vibe to it,
complete with beach sounds and minimal hand percussion accompaniment to the gently
strummed Side note: Julie's voice sounded very familiar to me when I first heard the
band, but it wasn't until much later that I found out that she was actually the singer
of Confettu (who released some wonderful 7"s on Sunday, Heaven and Marineville in the
'90s)!

(from Amsterdam via Vancouver, BC) is back with a full-length from her mostly solo
project, Ghost Thoughts. And once again, she's given us another collection of highly
personal songs about relationships and their pitfalls. Musically, she's continuing
to grow from her formative days in Thee Ahs, branching out into further territories
mined by contemporary artists such as Waxahatchee, Eskimeaux and Japanese Breakfast
-folk-based pop with a bigger sound, augmented by Vancouver producer-extraordinaire,
Jay Arner (who also provided the drums). Overall, this is a stunning batch of
deceptively bittersweet pop songs!

a couple more compilation appearances on Cloudberry and Quince, at long last, we
have the debut album from Indonesia's Sharesprings. And though it only clocks in
at around 20 minutes, this mini-album was well worth the wait! The band excels in
pure and dreamy indiepop in the style of early Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, the
Drums and Beach Fossils, but they aren't afraid to turn up the noise in songs like
the Talulah Gosh-esque "Elza, I'd Write You A Song". The songs have roughly equal
parts boy and girl vocals, and they even sometimes sing together, for a beautiful
effect. Yes, this is indeed the perfect POP! album you didn't know you were waiting
for... until now!

might expect, their sound has grown considerably in the couple years since their debut
was recorded - ie. the production sounds much better and clearer this time around
but their general style has not changed too much. They still play easy and refreshing
jangly guitarpop in the style of Beach Fossils, EZTV or a male-led Seapony, and boy,
do they ever play it WELL. These nine songs shimmer and sparkle along with the best
of 'em, and are a pure aural treat, as well, proving that geography is not what makes
a band, but plain old stellar songwriting...

of the best of those songs. Though a multi-instrumentalist, who created the majority
of the music on this album, Bruce is helped out by a number of friends, including
Jeremy Jensen of the Very Most (on a variety of instruments) and Raine Saunders-Irving,
Gia Trotter and Sean Samuel Kelly (all taking turns on vocals). Touchstones for these
songs include the Essex Green, Pale Lights and the Yearning - all equally wonderful
jangly indiepop bands who also sometimes enjoy playing in a minor key.

Though a new band, the members of Crabber from Hamburg, Germany have been around the
block a few times, playing in bands such as the Legendary Bang, Kristallin and
Dr. K^nig Arthus since the '90s. One of their biggest influences is the Wedding
Present, and though that does shine through clearly in these noisy janglepop songs,
the band they actually remind me of the most is the more obscure Dot Dash, with whom
they share many similarities both musically and in the overall sound and production.
With a title like "Bluesbusters", Crabber's debut album is sure to brighten up your

Slum Summer formed a few years ago in San Diego, and is led by recent UK expat,
Hugh J Noble (who released a number of entertaining solo records throughout
the '00s), and rounded out by another Brit and a pair of Americans. The band mostly
plays low-key indie rock with catchy melodies and storytelling-style lyrics, replete
with obscure references, literary and otherwise. For that very reason, Hugh's
songwriting often reminds me quite a bit of Graeme Downes of the Verlaines. Overall,
a very cool and solid debut from this promising new band.

5. Every Kiss (Feels Like It Could Be The Last)
We've been releasing a fair amount of local Seattle bands on Jigsaw lately, and
here's another one! The Regrets fuse the tuneful, romantic simplicity of '60s pop
with the energetic, jangling underground garage-pop sounds of the decades since.
With wistful lyrics, reverb-fringed guitars and catchy melodies, these guys make
fuzzed-out, infectious songs about youth, love & self-doubt. This is their second
release (following a self-released EP from a couple years back), and it was superbly
produced by Dylan Wall at the renowned Hall Of Justice studio. I'd keep my eye on
this band, as they're obviously poised for greatness!

You may not know the name Doggy, but they've actually been around for about 20 years
now! I first became aware of them thanks to the sorely-underrated "Pop International
Style" compilation on March Records back in 1999, and followed them through their
releases on Big Pink Cake, Little Treasure and Guillaume's own Anorak Records (one of
my favorite French indiepop labels). Now, we are pleased to present their fourth
album (and their first in several years), in conjunction with our new friends at
Kocliko Records of Spain (meaning: we have more in store for you!). Musically, Doggy
play perfect janglepop that echoes bands like the Servants and the Go-Betweens, as
well as Felt at their poppiest; and while they may sing in their native tongue,
I think you know by now that we at Jigsaw believe that music transcends all language
barriers! Please join us in welcoming back this French pop treasure!

digital EPs and singles from the past few years; now we're proud to present the second
proper full-length album from this Seapony off-shoot! This album contains nine tracks
of mellow, tender indiepop songs in the same vein as Seapony but would also fit nicely
alongside the Arctic Flow, Real Estate or Beach Fossils. Space Daze has a unique
ability to write beautiful melodic songs with perfectly effortless guitar leads and
an air of distinctly northwest mysticism. An altogether brief but highly enjoyable
listen!

Aw, it's no secret: I love indie rock just as much as I love indiepop. Give me the
energetic sounds of bands like Superchunk or the Thermals anytime! That's why this
record, though it sticks out among the rest of the generally poppier Jigsaw releases,
should make total sense in the overall label canon as it relates to my musical taste
(as it should!). This is highly spirited indie rock that reminds me of both of those
afore-mentioned bands, but even more so, some brilliant lesser-known bands like
Failures' Union, Shallow Cuts and Bedford Falls (seriously, go look 'em up).
State Drugs' debut album contains a dozen really catchy songs (one of them a classic
Replacements cover) with plenty of loud guitars and gritty, earnest vocals. Oh, and
I happen to know that there's plenty more where this came from...

So, you all know Seapony, right? Well, there's a band from South Carolina called Tape
Waves, who not only sound very similar, they even had Danny from the band help out on
their debut album. Then Danny from Seapony started Space Daze, his own solo project
with a similar style to his former band (and even released a couple cds on Jigsaw!);
not to be outdone, Kim from Tape Waves has started her own solo project and here's
its debut! And, not only does it sound close to her primary band, but she even has
Danny help out a little! Confused? Aww, don't be. Just know that this brief and
beautiful album is pure laidback indiepop in the vein of La Sera, Summer Twins and
just about any Rose Melberg project. And really, that's the only thing that matters,
yeah?

Several years back, Matteo from Luck, Now had another band with the even more
impossible name of What, Really? and he sent me a few copies of their sole release
out of the blue for me to sell in the shop, and I loved it! I think I even asked
him back then if I could release his next record, but I can't recall whatever became
of that. Fast forward a few years, and he formed this new band and snuck out a debut
EP under my radar. Thankfully, though, I managed to snag him for Jigsaw to release
this second EP of theirs, and it's a great batch of catchy pop songs that toe the
line between indie rock and powerpop, even going so far as to cover a song by GBV
("A Good Flying Bird"), another band with a similar modus operandi. Let's hope that
this time around, this obscure band from a tiny northern Italian town gets the
recognition they deserve!

Last year, we introduced you to this lovely group via a four-song teaser EP; now we're
thrilled to welcome you to the full debut album from Seattle's newest indiepop stars!
And I'm not just saying that because they're my friends. Or because I currently drum
for them (though, to be fair, I joined after this album was recorded). No, I say that
because this album is a sheer aural delight, filled with jangling guitars, sugary-sweet
female vocals (with lots of backing oohs!) and twinkling omnichord embellishments
throughout. This batch of twelve songs is on par with the best of Heavenly, Snail Mail
and Frankie Cosmos (whose Greta Kline actually guests here!), and the 31 minutes just
glide on by in no time. Definitely one of the highlights of 2019!

Based in Seoul (but originally hailing from California), Stars On Fire is the
brainchild of a fellow named Cristoph Mark, who I recently found out was a member
of Ampersand, a short-lived band who released an amazing mini-album on Fantastic
Records back in 2000 that you probably never heard (but really should). This debut
release from Cristoph's new project is a hard-to-define batch of songs that are
jangly, but not quite janglepop; noisy, but not actually noisepop; and dreamy, but
not really shoegaze. Heck, even the production style is simultaneously lo-fi and
well-recorded! The guitars are shambling and distorted, the vocals are morose (but
not over-bearing) and the songs themselves are pretty great. This is a cool EP that
kinda comes from left-field and is definitely well worth checking out!

Rising from the ashes of Manchester's sorely missed Amida, comes the fresh and new
Champion Of Youth, and this self-titled mini-album is their debut release. To be
honest, though, I really can't tell much of a difference between this new band and
the final works from Amida (which were released as the "Boring Birth" album on Jigsaw
about five years ago). That is, this is still energetic indiepop with tight, jangly
guitars (see also the Wolfhounds or Sarandon) and lots of terrific melodies and witty
lyrics, though I guess there's a bit more indie rock influence seeping through now,
not unlike Urusei Yatsura and early/mid-period Pavement. Also, the songs are a wee
bit longer this time around, with 7 songs in 23 minutes, averaging just over 3 minutes
a piece. Amida may be long gone, but their successor manages to live up to their
stellar legacy! All songs written by Champion Of Youth.

Hot on the heels of their stellar debut album, "At Moonset" (also on Jigsaw), Flying
Fish Cove are back with another batch of songs that are as enchanting and magical as
they are catchy and fun. The lead track, "No Ending", is easily the band's most rocking
tune to date, sounding halfway between Heavenly and a Harriet Records release by the
likes of Pest 5000 or Twig. The title track follows, and is a serious hit, replete
with an incredibly memorable chorus. The latter half of the EP is made up of a pair
of gentler omnichord-driven songs that show off the band's lighter and afore-mentioned
enchanting side. Brief but essential, this is a surefire hit for the summer, just in
time for the band's cross-country tour!

The A-side contains two of the band's most immediate hit songs, both of which are
revved-up and super-catchy a la vintage Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, and just over
two minutes a piece, while the flip shows a softer side with an acoustic-based number
that would've fit perfectly on a Sarah Records 7" between Brighter and the Field Mice.

Funny enough, this Portland band happened to reach out to me BEFORE I announced I was
moving to town, but now that we're both in the same place, their being on Jigsaw makes
so much sense. I mean, this batch of a dozen laidback janglepop tunes on the band's
debut album is right up my alley, falling in the same class as the Essex Green, Spent
and Great Lakes. The dual guitars are crisp & jangly and the rhythm section is nimbl
& bright, but the vocal harmonies are their true secret weapon, thanks to the shared
vocals of James & Annie. So many hits are scattered throughout this record to name,
but rest assured you'll be keeping this disc on rotation for quite some time!

Truth be told, I am a damn sucker for jangly and somewhat laidback indiepop. It's why
this recent crop of bands like Ultimate Painting, EZTV, Young Scum, the burgeoning
Aussie scene, etc all hit the right spot for me, but really it dates back to my youth
spent wearing out my R.E.M. tapes. But in between the very old and the very new,
though, lies the '90s/'00s and its clutch of amazing American janglepop bands, such
as Breezy Porticos, Holiday, Kincaid and the undisputed (in my eyes) kings of the
scene, Masters Of The Hemisphere. These bands were all important to me then, and I'm
happy to say that this recent finding from Kansas City, MO called Eggs On Mars are cut
from the exact same cloth as those bands. In fact, there were a number of times on
this album (which is actually the band's fifth, after a bunch of self-released cds
/tapes!) where I could have easily mistaken a song or even a feeling for something
that Breezy Porticos or MOTH gave me. Yes, this is a magical little record, filled
with many melodic and memorable moments!

Originally from Portland, but now living in Philly, Cool Original (once called "Cool
American" until the Doritos lawyers came a-knockin'...) is the project of one Nathan
Tucker, with some particularly helpful friends, including members of Alien Boy and
Loose, among others. This album was originally released on the Good Cheer label
(also of Portland), but received only a small cassette pressing, prompting me to step
in and rescue it from physical obscurity. And boy am I glad I did, as it's a stellar
album, full of the immaculately jangly indie rock that I love so dearly, as made by
the likes of Joy Cleaner, Dogbreth, Diners and so many others these days. Heck, even
if you just listen to the lead track, "Never Stop Hanging Out", on repeat a dozen
times in a row, you'd be golden, but then you'd be missing out on the other hits
they've given us! I may have moved to town too late to catch Cool Original in all
their glory, but this record will keep me satisfied until Nathan comes back home for
another reunion!

I picked up the first cassette EP from this Richmond, Virginia trio at a recent Popfest
(after really loving their set), so it was a nice surprise to get an email from them
some time later about releasing their follow-up on Jigsaw! It was a while in the
making, but this second EP of theirs (with six songs in under 15 minutes!) gleefully
tops their debut! This is top-notch indiepop in the style of Velocity Girl, Seablite
and Knife Pleats, with a little bit of Magnapop crunch, featuring guitars that are
sparkly and fuzzy, sugary-sweet female vocals (with some male backing vocals) and of
course, half a dozen really catchy songs. A sheer delight that's perfect to briefly

Vancouver's Sleuth are notorious for taking AGES between releases, and this mini-album
is certainly no different, coming five years after their previous album, "Out Of
The Blue Period". But thankfully, the band have not really changed their sound all
that much, giving us the same rich, melodic and intelligent janglepop that endeared
them to us in the first place. Each song on here is an absolute gem, from the quick
and driving opener "Flowers" to the more lush, synth-laden "Royal Red" all the way
through to the epic Close Lobsters-esque closer, "This Line". Though this album may
be far too brief, there are plans for an impending follow-up, which was recorded at
the same time, and hopefully to be released by year's end!

This is the debut album from this new German band, and if you think they sound quite
similar to Seaside Stars/Sealevel, then you've got remarkable ears, as this is the
new project of Hans Forster of those very groups! This is a little more reserved and
slightly less instantly catchy than his earlier work, but the songs are just as strong,
and fit perfectly in that same vein; ie. midtempo jangly guitarpop a la later Teenage
Fanclub or Real Estate. Of course, that's not to say that there aren't moments of pure
pop brilliance, as the one-two punch of the album's first two tracks rank among the
finest in Hans' oeuvre! This is a welcome return from one of Germany's best
songwriters!

Yet another band in the interestingly long line of Indonesian dreampop groups that

Turks & Caicos are definitely the most gentle of the bunch so far. They play lovely
bedroom electropop that reminds me a lot of Toro Y Moi or Washed Out, or to put it
in Swedish terms, this sounds like Nixon covering the Radio Dept. ...or maybe vice
versa? Either way, this is a gorgeous way to spend a quarter hour, and I really
hope to hear more from the band soon!

Okay, hands up those of you who were aware of Tongue. Don't lie... Yeah, I know:
the result is the opposite of "the wave". but we here at Jigsaw are determined to
right that wrong. So, this was a band that existed from 1992-94 in Syracuse, NY,
and in that time, they only managed to release a pair of singles: one on Mason Ring
(probably their own label?) and the other on the brilliant French label, Orgasm
Records (which is how I first became aware of the band). Their sound is very
of-the-time, fitting perfectly in line with the early Swirlies & Velocity Girl 7"s
and what Helium would eventually do the following year: loud indie rock with female
vocals and a pronounced shoegaze influence (but as filtered through an American lens).
This collection contains those two singles and their sole comp track, and adds seven
previously unreleased songs recorded during their brief existence - AND, if you're
a cd person, you also get five additional demos! Now that you've heard of Tongue,
what are you waiting for?

Second album from this Atlanta-based fellow who plays jangly indie rock in the style
of Masters Of The Hemisphere, Vehicle Flips and Guppyboy, with a bit of Ashtray Boy
in there, as well. The guitars are clean and clear, the songs are mostly peppy, and
the overall sound and feel is just best described as friendly.

CD not limited. 300 LPs pressed; co-released with Kleine Untergrund Schallplatten
with Jigsaw getting 100 copies. All songs written by Love, Burns. Available digitally
on Bandcamp.
I've long been a fan of Phil Sutton's songwriting via his previous bands, the Soft
City to Pale Lights. And though his newest project, Love, Burns, is being billed
as a solo project, he's assisted by a few fellow NYC-based men-about-town. Kyle
Forester, Hampus Öhman-Frölund and Gary Olson (among others), so you honestly
wouldn't've had any idea it wasn't a "real" band if I hadn't told you! Anyways,
this is LB's first album, and if you're already familiar with Pale Lights (and I
do hope you are!), then you shouldn't be too surprised by this album's sound, which
fits perfectly in line with all the best works of Phillipps, Lawrence, Astor, Forster
and McLennan. Phil's songwriting is superb and the songs themselves sound utterly
crystalline, thanks to Olson's ever-reliable production. Simply put, this is
classically modern janglepop at its very best!
