even not knowing what they looked like i knew that was going to be the umbrellas. their latest album is "how many 80s twee pop references can we stuff into every song". i can't hate on it tbh, it's a level of music nerdery i can respect

Umbrellas, Linda Smith playing near me close to Washington DC on June 12 @ Quarry House

Swansea Sound who contain members of Heavenly are doing some us gigs in June too

I need to catch up with Slumberland, I haven't paid attention for several years now

ha just read the thread to see electricsound slagging off the Twerps, I actually really liked that 2015 album lol

I saw Swansea Sound a few months ago, great gig. although not as good as seeing Heavenly last year (never saw them in the 90s because I only got into them just after they broke up after Mathew died)

fwiw, start with any of The Reds, Pinks and Purples albums in Slumberland, just absolutely killer. Will also vouch for The Umbrellas and Chime School.

oh I haven't heard them (R,P&Ps) but they are playing here in a few months so will check them out asap thanks
