Top Pops! Chad Valley w/ Glasser & Twin Shadow, Teenage Sweater, Still Corners

Chad Valley

Glasser‘s Cameron Mesirow turns everything to gold with her New Age delicacy, and Twin Shadow‘s George Lewis Jr. churns out fanatic fans like none other. So it is that both musicians take the ’80s pop-inspired tracks of Hugo Manuel (aka Chad Valley) to the next level. The comparison to “’80s pop” is not used lightly here; Chad Valley pretty much epitomizes the genre, complete with the most straight-forward pop vocals you’ve probably heard in a while. “Fall 4 U” and “I Owe You This” come from Young Hunger, out on Cascine, and the whole record boasts additional contributions from similarly-minded guest stars include El Perro Del Mar, Active Child, and Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs.

Full tracklisting to follow, along with an upbeat remix by Lissvik.

Still Corners

Still Corners have recently released a 7″ with “Fireflies” and “Heart Of Fools”, with a full-length to follow in Spring 2013, on Sub Pop. Dream pop has long been exhausted, and “Fireflies” is certainly bordering on that, but its romantic lethargy and ridiculously catchy synth line saves it. You can also listen to “Cuckoo” HERE.
