EP Review - Kiwis by Kiwis (2018) (Snap! Clap! Records)



Regular readers of this blog will know that I have a particular passion for the aesthetic that the numerous variants of Spanish pop have been providing, especially over the last half a decade or so, with bands such as The Yellow Melodies, Autoescuela*, Melenas*, Giorgio Bassmatti, Teri vs Tori and Alpaca Sports, all receiving glowing reviews or various levels of my unique fanboy affections as reference points in the reviews of other bands.

Album Review: Melenas by Melenas (2017) (Snap! Clap! Recs)


The Spanish are great at pop. They somehow manage to imbue a sort of twee essence to their sound and overall band personas that flirt with all the vital signs of twee (my recent favourites such as The Yellow Melodies and Autoescuela are characteristic examples) but ultimately retain far more indie chic. Spanish pop is as instantly recognizable as it is brilliant.
