Tanukichan: Circles [Kassettband]

There's an alternate reality where everyone makes a living wage and the cleanest buses you've ever seen arrive every other minute. Where the most intense songs are about confessing your love to a crush at the apple orchard, and where gentle feelings and chaotic energy are inseparable best friends. This is the timeline where Cootie Catcher is right at home. This Toronto based four-piece exudes both vulnerability and unbridled excitement, creating a sound that hypercharges the open-hearted tenderness of twee pop with spiraling synths and giddy electronics. New album Something We All Got is the clearest and most vibrant reading of Cootie Catcher's vision yet, with songs of sweetness, nervousness, and expectancy that beam out unguarded.

Talulah's Tape, the debut from Midwest jangle-pop outfit Good Flying Birds, is a vibrant mixtape of home-recorded indie gems. Balancing DIY punk energy with twee sweetness, it's filled with jangly guitars, melodic basslines, and witty, emotional lyrics. Originally released on cassette via Rotten Apple, it sold out quickly and returns remastered this fall on LP/digital via Carpark and Smoking Room-a sparkling, heartfelt debut that's both timeless and terminally online.
