Skep Wax<\/a>, the label that brought us the extraordinary LPs of Swansea Sound<\/a> and The Catenary Wires<\/a>, has now released a compilation of new songs for fans of perfect indie pop, as an ode to Sarah Records<\/a> (1987-1995). The Under The Bridge<\/em><\/a> album re-introduces several of the bands \/ band members who released records on the influential British independent record label, showcasing new material by 14 of them. With contributions from so many bands – Even As We Speak, Jetstream Pony (ex-Aberdeen), Useless Users (ex-Action Painting\/Secret Shine), Tufthunter (ex-Heavenly), St Christopher, The Luxembourg Signal (ex-Aberdeen), Boyracer, The Wake, Leaf Mosaic (ex-Sugargliders), Sepiasound (ex-Blueboy), Soundwire (ex-The Sweetest Ache), Secret Shine, The Orchids, and The Catenary Wires (ex-Heavenly) – there’s plenty of variety in sound, yet it feels like a cohesive package. The common denominator is that the music is as pure, heartfelt and idealistic as ever, fitting effortlessly into the impressive Sarah tradition. This is a successful reunion that leaves you wanting more, also a good reason to (re)discover the other work of the featured artists.<\/p>\n
