I have got a few more albums to mention that I bought over the past week or so, which I’ll get around to sooner or later but for now, I’ve got some more ‘new music’ from a less recognized band that I think I’ll introduce to you. Of the several new bands that I’ve been looking into recently, hoping to make a post on, this is the band I’ve enjoyed the most and they’re called the Attachments.

Making a change from a tad too many local bands that I’ve been talking of recently, this band originate from the other side of the Atlantic in sunny California. Also, typical of bands from their area, they make some lovely, summertime indie-pop that is really bloody addictive. With this particular blend of music being one that’s all too common in the world, not every band taking this stance are quite as interesting as you might thing and a lot of indie bands sound exactly like the next. Still, every once in a while you come across a decent band hidden amongst the thousands of average ones and the Attachments are just one of those bands.

The band have recently released their debut 6-track EP which is available to buy through their Myspace, if you so desire. Of these six tracks, I’ve heard a fair few and not one is in the slightest bit disappointing. Personally, if I was to recommend just one track, it’d be Karla-la; a truly enjoyable, upbeat and lively song with many of those previously mentioned hooks. It takes just one listen to become firmly embedded in your head. As well as that, though, you’ve got the slightly softer F-Train Girl. Other than in the chorus, the musical side of this song is very minimal and this just serves to make it all the more effective when the whole song lifts itself to another level at that point.

Although I’ve not heard the EP in full, a sufficient sample is enough to tell me that it’s a fantastic slice of the very best kind of super-happy, upbeat indie-pop that we all love, whether you’ll admit it or not. As well as this, other tracks such as Here They Come - currently streaming at the bottom of this post - show that the band has plenty more good tunes to their name, surely promising equally brilliant future releases. I strongly recommend you check them out, be it by listening to the track below or heading over to their Myspace page to have a listen to a few more.
