Exeter trio Silk Cuts released their debut LP earlier this month, and it’s required listening for anyone with even a passing affection for classic indie pop, jangle, twee, C86, and all that good stuff. This is one of those bands where you can practically hear their record collections—impeccable taste, piles of obscurities, and enough enthusiasm for underground pop that starting their own obscure band felt like the only reasonable next step.
And you know what? Tell Me It’s Not True is a surprisingly confident launch—bright, tuneful, understated, and instantly endearing. Silk Cuts sound like future cult favorites already.
