They Say...
A veritable cavalcade of indie pop goodness awaits those who come across this compilation put together in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the California-based label Matinee Recordings. Released in 2007, the disc features exclusive recordings by indie pop veterans and a good handful of genuinely promising newcomers. There aren't any huge surprises here when it comes to the new tracks by the more established artists found here, but that's nothing but a good thing. The Lucksmiths' "Good Light" is as jangly, wistful, and pop-tastic as anything the band has ever done, and the Would-Be-Goods' "Temporary Friend" is a nigh-on perfect slice of C86-esque twee pop. Perhaps the most exciting contributions come from the newbies. Glasgow's Bubblegum Lemonade and Strawberry Whiplash (both masterminded, at least in part, by Laz) stand out with a couple of sweet, buzzy lo-fi tracks that smack of the Field Mice and the Orchids. Other highlights include previously unreleased tracks by the Math and Physics Club and the Hermit Crabs, both of which hit a perfect, melancholy pitch. This disc offers a nice glimpse of the range and quality of indie pop put out on Matinee over the course of the past ten years. It's a nice, if brief, introduction for newcomers to Matinee's catalogue, and it offers enough shiny little rarities to make this a worthwhile listen for indie pop aficionados, too.
